Florian Klenk recently announced on social media that he was suffering from Corona again. At the same time, he called for vaccination because his course was not difficult thanks to vaccination.
The skydiver and Red Bull advertiser Felix Baumgartner took this as an opportunity to make fun of Klenk on Facebook. “You’ve got to be a solid idiot“If you’re vaccinated five times (!), keep getting Corona and then defend the vaccination,” Baumgartner said. Among other things, he wrote the hashtag “Pharmahure”.
The insults went too far for Klenk. He wrote both on his Facebook page and under Baumgartner’s post: “Anyone who, like Felix Baumgartner, calls me a ‘pharmawhore’ or a ‘firm idiot’ you will first receive a request to donate. If that doesn’t help, a lawsuit.”
He called on everyone who shared the insults to do so Mobile children’s hospice Momo to donate.
Baumgartner himself was not impressed by this. He seems to be enjoying the social media dispute with Klenk and followed up. He accused Klenk of to want to enrich themselves personally through lawsuits against public insults.
Baumgartner expects “merciless” lawsuits
“I will no more comply with your request for donations than I will with the call for a corona vaccination,” he announced and called Klenk’s threat of legal action “merciless.” Baumgartner also repeated the hashtag “Pharmahure”. Klenk was very amused by the “merciless” sound.
In any case, the last round in the social media exchange of blows does not seem to be over yet.
