Longtime ‘General Hospital’ star Ingo Rademacher fired for not complying with a COVID-19 mandate

Ingo Rademacher has been turned away from “General Hospital.”

The longtime star of the iconic ABC soap opera has been fired after declining to comply with the production’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

The actor, who played Jasper “Jax” Jacks since 1996, will appear in his final episode on Nov. 22, according to published reports.

Last month, “General Hospital” reportedly mandated vaccines for all cast and crew members.

Rademacher, 50, has been vocal about his anti-vaccination stance.

On Instagram, he shared an anti-vax message that read, “I will stand with you to fight for medical freedom.”

The West Germany-born actor has faced backlash for his position.

When a group of “General Hospital” fans called for this termination after he spoke about his stance in August, he called them “morons, dictators and horrible, horrible” people.

Rademacher also recently came under fire after he shared a meme with a picture of U.S. Assistant Secretary of Health Rachel Levine, who is transgender, and referred to the picture as “that dude on the left.”

His “General Hospital” co-star Cassandra James, a trans woman, lambasted him on Twitter.

“I am aware of a transphobic post shared by a fellow General Hospital actor. Shame on you. You have some serious unlearning and education to do,” she said. “I feel deeply disappointed that such a public display of ignorance could come from our GH family.”

Originally posted by a conservative commentator, Rademacher apologized in an Instagram video for the misgendering, saying he should have crossed out the word “dude” and noted that those were the author’s words, not his.

However, the father of three maintained that he supported the author’s intent to “highlight the hypocrisy of the left-wing media.”

Also in the video, he addressed James.

“Cassandra, I apologize to you as well, sincerely,” he said. “I think you’re an absolute talent and you’re very beautiful as well. I don’t think a transphobic man would say that.”

He added that when his son was 3 years old, he allowed him to wear a Disney princess outfit because he wanted to look pretty. “I don’t think a transphobic dad would buy his song a Disney princess dress,” he explained.

Rademacher, who also starred on “Hawaii Five-O” and competed on “Dancing with the Stars,” said he would comment on his “General Hospital status” later.
