The Truth About Ingo Rademacher's Departure From General Hospital

Publish date: 2024-05-07

Ingo Rademacher was no doubt one of the most popular figures in the soap world, but he's also become one of the most controversial, too. That's because he often voices his opinions — and even his frustrations — about many hot button topics. He's made it clear on more than one occasion that he's against a COVID-19 vaccine mandate at the work place. He's even posted about it on his Instagram and has said things such as, "Make no mistake, this is the fight of our lives. The fight to have the freedom to choose. It has zero to do with your political beliefs or wether you've been vaccinated or not. Stand strong America!" 

After the hashtag #fireingo began trending on Instagram in August, Rademacher once again took to Instagram to write, "Getting vaccinated does not stop you from spreading the virus. That's straight from the CDC. Mandating any vaccine is wrong but especially one that doesn't help stop the spread, that's nothing short of crazy talk. If you want to take the vaccine, take it. Just know you're doing it for yourself, not to save anyone else. You're not a hero."

But because of the ABC network's vaccination mandate, per Deadline, Rademacher was let go from the cast, much to the surprise and even dismay of many of his longtime fans. However, Rademacher made another controversial move that stirred the pot, too.
