That’s not fair , it is a free country

He’s had covid already. He got it from someone else on set. He also knows the consequences of choosing not to get this vaccine. It’s his choice. He’ll be fine and a year or two the mandates will be dropped and he’ll be back. In the meantime he does voice over work on video games

Really dumb, forget the Khazar devils! :(

Good.

Good riddance to him.

STAND UP!!!!!😤👏👏👏

He had the illness‼️‼️‼️

This is absolutely ridiculous! It is a freaking TV show. It should not be madatory for anyone that doesn’t want it

Why

He’s cute but not smart

🤣

Who’d he be play

Completely ridiculous

Well that’s stupid on his part

Well nobody ever said soap opera actors were intelligent individuals. If you don’t comply with your work standards your gone simple as that. That is not new. He chose NOT to comply. He chose to care about himself and only that. End of story.

Look who just put general hospital on the map

But the Botox is cool ?

Oh well. GH will be fine without him. He left a few years ago to go to another Soap Opera and after about a year he wasn't missed. He came back a couple of years ago but it wasn't the same so, bye SteveBurton 👋

Good, for those selfish enough to stand behind bullshit reasoning, the consequences are clear. Not liking the rules, go work elsewhere.

Good Man ❤

Hey Steve, make sure u dont get the shingles vax either, smh

Noooooo!!!!😱😭😭😭

He looks like a Chad

Good

Esssstupid

Good.

I’m not seeing this as a loss

Tbh, does anyone even watch that crap anymore? Good luck getting another acting job after playing this role for so long🤦🏼‍♀️

Easiest job in the world, mailbox income and he still screwed this up! Wow

He gets Botox but won’t get a vaccine. I don’t understand. One is actual poison.

I hope he doesn’t show up on Y&R again.

That’s bullshit.

He looks sickly in the face. Maybe he already has it.

GOOD !

Jason smh 🤦🏽‍♀️

So stupid!

Have fun in the unemployment line with you bud Ingo.

He'll probably return as his long lost vaccinated twin brother nobody ever knew about.

I just don’t understand.

I’m surprised it took them this long nobody wants to do a love scene with an unvaccinated idiot!!!
