Another Anti-Vax General Hospital Star Fired For Refusing To Get Jab
First Ingo Rademacher (“Jax”), and now Steve Burton, who’s played Jason Morgan on GH since 1991:
Burton said that he and ABC, like co-star Ingo Rademacher before him, arrived at an impasse due to the COVID vaccine mandate which took effect at GH on Nov. 1. Burton taped his last episode on Oct. 27, TVLine hears.
“I know there’s been a lot of rumors and speculation about me and General Hospital, and I wanted you to hear it from me personally. Unfortunately, General Hospital has let me go, because of the vaccine mandate,” Burton shared on Instagram.
“I did apply for my medical and religious exemptions, and both of those were denied… which, you know, hurts,” he added. “But this is also about personal freedom to me. I don’t think anybody should lose their livelihood over this.”
