"Bergdoktor" Hans Sigl has nothing to do with the corona virus in his ZDF series.

But he is all the more committed to vaccination in his private life.

Munich - "The 'Bergdoktor' * would vaccinate around the clock," said Hans Sigl recently in an interview with the

.

The 52-year-old actor is known as the doctor in the ZDF series, which, as the name suggests, is always shot in the midst of the most beautiful mountain scenery.

"Bergdoktor" Hans Sigl: He uses his reach to advertise vaccination

In real life, of course, Hans Sigl is not a doctor.

But the actor still uses his popularity with the fans again and again to campaign for vaccinations.

For example, he shares scientific facts on the subject from Facebook.

“I'm just a multiplier.

That's what I stand for and that's what I use my reach, ”said Sigl in an interview with

.

But that also creates headwinds.

Vaccination opponents were outraged that he was so nice as a “mountain doctor” and then advertised vaccinations on Facebook, explains Hans Sigl.

Apparently some of them have “not yet fully completed the reality check."

I say: It can happen so quickly that you realize that an actor is an actor and not a 'mountain doctor' ”, says Sigl.

The pandemic was not built into the ZDF series, there is no corona.

But Hans Sigl is certain: his character "would vaccinate around the clock."

"Bergdoktor" Hans Sigl worried: "Opponents are becoming more and more radical"

The ZDF * star also gets a lot of approval for his commitment, but the harshness that opponents show him astonishes him: “Hostility takes place virtually here. The headwind is getting harder and stronger. You notice that at the moment anyway. ”And further:“ But the opponents are becoming more and more radical. It scares me a little and worries me to see what is happening in our society. "

Hans Sigl is concerned: “You don't know what else is going to happen. And when horse deworming agents are recommended by the FPÖ in Austria, and people actually do that, then you can’t think of anything. But even there you have to act calmly and calmly. ”So he still reacts to the protests on his Facebook page with humor, a good mood and calm. Just like you know the "mountain doctor" in his prime role.
