Never could quite stand him. Toodles!

@titan1978 & @dragonflies Do you think SB's "health exemption" is also what prevents him from using sunscreen? That aging skin and bad instagram lighting isn't going to get him any jobs in daytime (couldn't resist a bitchy bon mot).

Things I am still surprised by in this case (given my clear lack of inside sources):

1. CBS, ABC, and SB agreed to have him go on the Talk last week to promote GH - after he was "let go" last month (it really makes me want to re-look at those backstage photos)

2. His own instagram comments are split on supporting his "choice"

3. He maintains there will be a time "after mandates", as opposed to understanding how the world has changed.  He's not Joe Rogan, one doubts his podcast will supplant his TV income.

4. Clubs in New York are still going to allow him to perform his "act" now that he's confirmed that he's unvaccinated

Seriously, since I am so bad at predictions, what are the chances this guy ever gets another job on a soap within the next three years?

Unfortunately, I would say it's likely.   If not GH, I bet someone else will pick him up.

But the silver lining for me is that this could free up $$$ for Vanessa Marcil.  So thank you Ingo and Steve!

That said...all I can really say is...

 

 

As someone who has danced on the grave of a few actors, actoresses, and reality tv stars, I'm not at all going to take away from thoses who have wanting to do the same.

 

To think he would be so selfish, but if that is the hill he wants to die on...so be it.

 

 

[j swift]

Given the disastrous View appearance by anti-vaxxer Jedediah Bila, and local news aversion to misinformation on the topic, I wonder if he'll get any TV interviews out of this?  I also wonder about commercial support for his podcast given the same issues?  In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Facebook suppresses his content or places a misinformation tag on his statement.

It's because of people like SB and IR the pandemic will never go away.

 

EDIT: And yet SB has no problem playing a killer.

So he tried medical AND religious exemptions, not just one or the other.  In other words, he's simply petrified to get a shot, and he tried anything he could think of to weasel out of it.  

Probably easier to just say, "I'm a weenie who cries when I get a shot."  

[ChitHappens]

Seems to be the norm for anti vaxxers.  Rockmond Dunbar, whom I love, did the same and he was released from 911 recently.  They try a lame medical excuse and then come with the religion.  

[Soapsuds]

Catholics are the only ones that had concerns with the vaccine. I am a Catholic and had concerns too. Our local pastor was on TV a while back and said it was ok for Catholics to get the vaccine. It was to save your life and he also commented that he was vaccinated.

That said....I didn't know Burton was religious much less a Catholic.

[Forever8]

From your words to the Soap Gods, it becomes a reality. And let her have a good story if it comes to fruition.

The Pope said that the vaccine was fine and the right thing to do. (AP article from Sept 15)
https://apnews.com/article/health-religion-coronavirus-pandemic-pope-francis-raymond-burke-b2f2b16321f0275e7b57fbadbd5cfaec
 

quoting the AP article:

Significantly, Francis didn’t cite the religious objection used by some who refuse the vaccines. Some conservatives have refused to get the shots citing the remote and indirect connection to lines of cells derived from aborted fetuses.

The Vatican’s doctrine office has said it is “morally acceptable” for Catholics to receive COVID-19 vaccines based on research that used cells derived from aborted fetuses. Francis has said it would be “suicide” not to get the jab and both Francis and Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI have been fully vaccinated with Pfizer-BioNTech shots.

Transcript:

"In a brotherly spirit, I join in this message of hope for a brighter future. Thanks to God and to the work of many, we now have vaccines to protect us from COVID-19. They grant us the hope of ending the pandemic, but only if they are available to all and if we work together.

Being vaccinated with vaccines authorised by the competent authorities is an act of love. And contributing to ensure the majority of people are vaccinated is an act of love. Love for oneself, love for one’s family and friends, love for all people. Love is also social and political, there is social love and political love; it is universal, always overflowing with small gestures of personal charity capable of transforming and improving societies."

Burton has been religious for awhile. It's a main reason that for years he would not do love scenes with his shirt off. I remember reading about it lol

[janea4old]

Against his religion to go shirtless or obey a vaccine mandate, but perfectly acceptable to play a mob hitman who kills a lot of people. Alrighty then.
