American actor Steve Burton has been sacked from his role in the U.S. soap General Hospital, where he has played the character Jason Morgan since 1991, because of his refusal to get vaccinated. Filming takes place at ABC studios, which requires all actors to be vaccinated, with Burton following in the footsteps of his former colleague Ingo Rademacher, who was also kicked from the show for not being vaccinated. Sky News has the story.
Burton, who has played the role of Jason Morgan in the long-running U.S. soap since 1991, confirmed the news in an Instagram video on Tuesday evening.
The show, which is made by Disney-owned ABC Studios, requires its Zone A (those actively working on set) actors and staff to be vaccinated against Covid.
He said: “Unfortunately, General Hospital has let me go because of the vaccine mandate. I did apply for my medical and religious exemptions, and both of those were denied. Which, you know, hurts.
“But this is also about personal freedom to me.”
Burton went on to say: “Maybe one day if these mandates are lifted, I can return and finish my career as Jason Morgan. That would be an honour.”
ABC has since confirmed that Burton’s departure is linked to his non-compliance with the show’s vaccine mandate.
He follows colleague Ingo Rademacher out the show’s door, who was also let go for publicly refusing to comply with the show’s vaccine mandate.
Using Instagram, Rademacher frequently rallied against vaccine mandates, telling those who had taken the jab that they were only doing for themselves.

Ha ha – ‘let go’, Brandon!
I must admit to not having heard of either the actor or the programme but, by making this principled stand against medical tyranny, Mr Burton has my greatest respect and gratitude.
Yep. Every respect for those who walk the talk.
May the Cosmos look kindly on them.
You took the words from my mouth. I didn’t know him before, but i’ll remember him now.
Tactic to use against police at protests who take money from the public then commit crimes against them on behalf of crimimals in the government:
FILL BALLOONS WITH BLACK GLOSS PAINT AND OIL AND GREASE AND THROW THEM AT THEM. IT DISABLES THEIR WEAPONS AND DESTROYS THEIR FIELD OF VISION. THIS IS A TRIED AND TESTED TACTIC RECOMMENDED BY A UK VETERAN WHO SERVED IN NORTHERN IRELAND – THE KIDS THERE USED TO DO IT TO THEM AND IT TOTALLY FUCKED THEM UP.
77th Brigade marking you down? You must have hit on something.
Total coincidence but…
Jewish people were banned from being Actors in 19030’s Germany.
It would be a coincidence if it was only Jews that were being forced into compliance.
It would be a coincidence if it was only Jews that *are* being forced into compliance.
*should have read
But he was being sarcastic, obviously.
Non-sacked actors, even if “vaccinated”, should protest against the sacking of their workmates.
As well as with 1930s Germany, another comparison, which will surely soon be made if it hasn’t been already, is with the Hollywood “blacklist” during the McCarthyism of the 1950s.
McCarthy was a witch-hunter who found witches though!
If you’re determined to find them, and your brain is twisted enough, you’ll find them.
No. He was an evil twat. Like Mr Toad et al.
You’ve sussed yourself as a fake.
Nope he found evil people, and was castigated for it.
He wrecked a lot of careers, but then you know that. Were any of those Reds under the beds more evil than practically all US presidents since WW2, with of course just a very few exceptions.
McCarthy didn’t find the real enemy.
McCarthy had this weird idea that the Communists were going to undermine the USA by subversion from within.
They were planning to burrow within every civic institution and govt body with subversion of its original remit as an aim.
Sort of like becoming the Deep state with a corporatist bent all following a plan.
The plan was to alter and pervert higher education, schools the police, medicine, epa, justice & courts etc etc.
Obviously none of that ever happened.!!!!
Obviously not!
Communism is at least in theory about equality. The Deep State, on the other hand, largely exists to service the Fortune 500. When did the latter become “communist”?
The evidence is the Deep State exists to serve the cabals ends.
Schwab et al are running the Great reset and are at least partially in control of this whole S***show.
We have known for decades that he is a communist.

Any evidence the Deep state actually serves the Fortune 500?
Communism in practice has never been about equality whenever it has been tried despite the slogans it always ends up with a controlling cabal on top.
Seriously? The Deep State facilitates corporate rule. I hardly need to provide “evidence” for that. 60+ years of destabilisations, coups, false flag events and massive upwards wealth transfer all provide ample evidence. The beneficiaries are the uber elites. I say “Fortune 500” but in reality, it is only the upper layers of that index who truly pull the strings. Either way, the heads of the financial dynasties have nothing to do with communism in ideological terms. The only thing they like about Soviet-type or Maoist-type communism is the level of control it affords. And that is what they’re copying from China. A high-tech, state-led corporatism with absolute state enforcement.
What we’re seeing here is the emergence of a new kind of technocracy. The transaction system it is putting into place won’t even resemble any of the previous currency systems. It is a system is so far beyond ideas of “left” and “right”, or Communism vs Capitalism, that all that 20th century ideological baggage just looks like a quaint memory.
Good, its not the Fortune 500 – agreed.
Its the uber plutocrats at the top.
Read the writings of Klaus Schwab( the lifelong self professed communist) to see whats planned in the Great Reset.
Kudos to Steve Burton and Ingo Rademacher. Could this be getting like May 1968 in France, when people in all sorts of groups joined the movement that you might not expect, such as footballers and actors?
This is going to get interesting when there is not just a declining of “vaccination” but a strike. Imagine what happens when highly visible figures and also people working in key bottleneck bits of the economy join a fast-growing strike movement. There is nothing to stop air traffic controllers, seaport managers, hospital electricians, soldiers, comedians, hairdressers, workers in road logistics centres, call centre staff, advertisers, sound technicians, etc. etc. (add your own groups here) from acting with good sense on the most important issue of our time, at a moment when they really can make a difference, so perhaps we will have some nice surprises.
Sacked for not taking a vaccine he did not need. Meanwhile in other news this week we have:
This:

This:

And this:
Leon Taylor dead: Tributes pour in as non-league footballer tragically dies aged 36 (msn.com)
The former two were chest issues, the last one was suddenly taken ill on Wednesday so i is speculation on my part.
I have played and watched football for 40 years. I can count on the fingers of one hand such instances.
And yet we still have people in denial – absolute thick, dogmatic, morons:
Trevor Sinclair is blasted over vaccine rant after discussing John Fleck on TalkSport | Daily Mail Online
I feel bad saying this but I think we are going to see a very high profile sportsperson die in the coming months.
Aguero retiring at 33
It’s sad to have to agree with you – I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens at the Australian Open.
It is shocking, the “Danish incident” from the summer would have probably ended all this if there wasn’t such a coordinated media ban on the truth (speculation on my part, but highly likely!!)
John Fleck now
We need many more high-profile folk and celebs, to man-up and say no more publicly even if it means hood-winking the MSM into giving them airtime.
The constantly stacking casualties make this a mission-critical plea.
UK MRHA Vaxx fatalities to date: = 1,784
EU EudraVigilance fatalities to date: = 31,022
USA VAERS fatalities to date: = 18,853
And the science tells us these are just tip of the iceberg numbers… under-reporting has been the norm so far as has deliberate obfuscation. How many more need to die of “rare” blood clotting condition FFS?
Just numbers?
No my friends real horror stories for the loved ones and families involved that were pysop’d nudge-unit duped into doing the right thing.
All honour to an honest man.
Future Hollywood stars and leaders.
There is an ivermectin panic on the big tech and MSM right now. Massive articles from MSM on Ivermectin trying to push a danger narrative and also negative press on Americans Frontline Dr’s, again, to keep the Covid narrative alive. Just go to the Goog and type ivermectin then look at all the panic news articles. We are over the target. Big-Pharma is panicking. This medicine has been widely used by humans without any problems for 40 years. It’s inventor won a Nobel Prize after 20 years of successful use and after 100 million people were cured of a broad spectrum of problems without any side effects. Get your Ivermectin while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
I didn’t know they had doctors in 1991
Smart man.
