General Hospital star Steve Burton says he was fired for refusing to get vaccinated

Variety

“I wanted you to hear it from me personally.” he said in an Instagram video, before launching into anti-vaccine rhetoric. “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.” ALSO: How General Hospital wrote out Ingo Rademacher's character after the actor was dropped for failing to comply with the show's COVID vaccine mandate.
