General Hospital spoilers – Nancy Lee Grahn Speaks Out
According to Metro, “The iconic ABC soap has been in headlines over vaccine mandates after some of its stars appeared to speak out about the idea, however, Grahn (who plays Alexis Davis) continued to praise her bosses for choosing to ‘listen to science.’”
Thursday, she tweeted, ‘@GeneralHospital still remains ONLY Daytime Serial to mandate vaccines. Kudos to the leadership of @valentinifrank @ABCNetwork & @DisneyStudios. Smart leaders listen to science & protect their employees. As of Nov 1st entry to #gh requires proper vaccine card. No exceptions.’

She then noted, ‘Let me add that exceptions due to many medical issues get sorted out by ABC. They are qualified to make exceptions.’
ABC’s new mandate applies to those who work on set, both in front of and behind the camera must be ully vaccinated in order to work on set. The edict is meant to prevent the coronavirus health crisis from destroying GH’s production schedule.

Her post followed her earlier claim that GH was the only daytime drama requiring staff to be vaccinated.
She posted on October 8, ‘I am very proud to work on the ONLY Daytime Soap that has required that all performers, staff and crew be vaccinated.’ Another GH actor, Ingo Rademacher, has been vocal about the vaccination mandate. He has taken the opposite stand as Grahn, he has spoken out against vaccine mandates.
The issue was publicized when Grahn tweeted about unvaccinated staff at the same time Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) and Kelly Thiebaud (Britt Westbourne) were in quarantine with mild symptoms.
Ingo responded in a post: ‘Oh, my goodness! The Twitter world… the cesspool of cyberbullying at its finest. Unbelievable. The post that I made yesterday was not anti-vaccine.’
He further commented: ‘Let me be clear. It was not anti-vaccine. It was anti-vaccine passport slash mandate. Okay, I’m not for that.’
‘I think if you want to take the vaccine if you think you’re going to die from the virus go ahead and take the vaccine but know that taking the vaccine does not stop you from spreading the virus to others – there are plenty of breakthrough cases and I won’t get into the details but I know of personal ones, believe me, and all over the world.’

I absolutely agree that in a free country (which we still were last time I checked) no one should be forced to be injected with or forced to ingest a medicinal substance being put into their bodies. I also think those in the "public eye" should not openly state their opinions on such a controversial subject. It is a personal choice – especially in the case of this vaccine — and that is the nuts and bolts of it. I don't know why "Hollywood" thinks they have the right to be the moral compass for the rest of us.
I’m upset, a bit angry. This should be a personal decision not mandated by our government. The sovereignty I have over my body, is all I have
If I give it away to them, then I have nothing. What will they mandate that I inject in my body next?
She's a troublemaker.
How many persons will choose to lose their livihoods, rather than get a vaccination? There are many, especially Youngs adults, who are healthy and don't feel need to vaxx for their health.
I am vaxxed and have the booster as well. My 30yr old son in Nov 2020, before fast tracked vaccine was avail to the public, survived 6days in critical cond with COVID-19 pneumonia. He and his wife now in 2021 are fully vaxx and had booster. At 8.5mos pregnant. She had a mild case of COVID-19, while her hubby was in critical cond and she was unable to visit him in hosp (Nov '20).
The vaccine mandate by Pres Biden is being accepted by liberals as 100% scientific evidence and imperative for all. If this had been a mandated edict by previous administration, when the COVID-19 virus infected persons worldwide like wildfire, these same people, ie Ms Grahn, would REFUSE to abide by a mandate with the "Trump vaccine." ie. then-Sen Kamala Harris, who would NOT get a Trump admin approved vaccine.
I just don't get it. If the Covid-19 Vaccine can help save your LIFE, Others And your well paying job then TAKE IT!!!!
I totally agee. We font live in dictorship country. We have the right to decide what's best for own bodies. And the next person has that right too. .but don't make this about bullies. You perfect yourself and the other people will protect themselves. Not controllers
