    History will remember the vaccination issue. Those outspoken will be on the right side of history.

    1. Gabriel Hernandez

      No, they just died at a higher rate.

      1. Dingus McFlingus

        Gina Carano wasn’t a wrestler. She was an MMA fighter…there is a difference

        1. Dude

          You didn’t read the article, did you?

      2. Guy

        You do realize she wasn’t anti vaccine right?

        1. JoJub-Jub

          Wrong. She was anti-trans, anti-vax, anti-mask, and anti-Semitic.

          It was that last one that was the “straw that broke the camels back”.

          When she was tweeting picks of the, Holocaust, that’s what got her fired.

          1. Taco

            😂🤣😂🤣 all of you think that everyone else that you disagree with is that.

          2. John

            No it wasn’t. She was fired because the powers in charge at Disney just didn’t want her to exercise her First Amendment rights to her opinion and it wasn’t in line with the intolerant liberal agenda.

          3. Rickie

            Right!!

          4. Phil dabus

            Ah no dude. Read the tweets again. You are buying the propaganda.

          5. 430H30 H

            Like how you use anti rather than non conforming to certain ideals. And anti Semitic doesn’t even make sense in that argument

          6. Megalith

            Nice lie about the anti-semetism and anti-trans bullstuff. Got more lies Marxist sock puppet?

      3. AntoFal

        No. They actually didn’t. Nice 2020 talking points. The mRNA vaccine does little to help ppl with impaired immune systems (such as the elderly). And since it provides no mucosal immunity—where transmission occurs—it turned the vaccinated into an army of asymptomatic super-spreaders. Try to keep up with the science…

        1. LC

          Good for her! She shouldn’t have lose her role to begin with. It’s a little silly to be fired for having a different opinion than others.

          1. M Wooldridge

            Can’t believe I read through all that crap just for the last line. Good for her.

        2. Holly

          i had covid Twice first time was a bit rough second time a year later seemed like regular cold- un jabbed here! and don’t plan on getting the jab either! to each it’s own- Gina had every right to choose just like the rest of us

        3. Arod

          That’s such BS…..just something you read and you take as fact and start spreading your word because you believe it to be right….just stop already

        4. Susie

          British parliament has a video questioning pfizer, where they knew in the beginning the vaccine does not stop transmission. Look it up, so what was that about all those studies again you say Jo-jub?

      4. Mile

        Source? With links to raw data. Thanks.

        1. Nick

          I’d say you’re capable of doing your own research but that’s probably not true if you still think the vaccines were necessary at all. Regardless, nobody cares to waste their time trying to convince you of something that you’ll never believe without it coming from msnbc.

      5. Mike Vespa

        That’s exactly opposite of what the CDCs statistics say !

        1. Ed

          To quote Samuel Clemens, there are 3 kinds of lies. Lies, damn lies and statistics

      6. Gern Blanston

        You are living in a false reality! How does it feel to be so ignorant!?? LOOK AT ALL THE DATA OUT THERE NOW!

        1. Andrea Swank

          Good! They should have never fired her in the first place! !

      7. Tom

        Libturd

      8. Tony

        Proof please. It is a fact that the vaccines have caused heart issues.

    2. Gabriel Hernandez

      No, they just died at a much higher rate.

      1. Tallgoblin37

        Your proof of this? I never received the vaccine and never will. Caught it twice, as a fre others that have never had the vaccine. Yet, here we are, still alove and kicking. As many others are. I bet your proof was from Joe Biden or CNN?

        1. Mike

          WHY DID THIS TURN INTO A VACCINATION DISCUSSION? it wasn’t about that at all, and I’m excited she’s back!

          1. Mike Vespa

            Me to !

          2. Jon

            yes this is all about Gina being back and not vaccinated forum ! move on to the important stuff…. Star Wars!!!!

      2. JayK

        No. We didn’t. I’ve had it 3 times. I’m good.

        1. Dee_Hoss

          So how many people did your ignorance kill?

          You see the problem isn’t with healthy people dying. An average person in good health only had about a 3% chance of winding up dead. The problem is when you disease spreaders cross paths with someone who has:
          diabetes 1 in 3 chance of death.
          High blood pressure 1 in 12.
          Or renal (kidney) problems 1 in 4 chance of death.
          The list goes on.

          So congratulations you played Russian Roulette and won 3 times. How many people did you force to play along with you and how many weren’t as lucky?

          1. J

            You do know that vaccinated people still carry and spread diseases right?

          2. Gp

            💯 you are my spirit animal! The Vax never stopped you being able to pass it on. It only helped make your symptoms have “less” of an impact. I’m not anti Vax. I am more than willing to have an open minded conversation in about 10 yrs. Once we find out the side affects. Till then I’ll take my chances. You do you, ill do me!

          3. Tjk923

            A healthy person had less than a 1 percent chance of dying, it was actually around 0.1 percent chance if you were healthy or under 30

          4. AntoFal

            Wrong! Once vaccinated, you could still catch Covid. You just didn’t feel it as strongly. Plus, since you were “vaccinated”, you felt it was safe to visit the vulnerable. Meanwhile, you completely lacked mucosal immunity, meaning you’d then pass it along to the vulnerable person.

          5. JazzSaxFan

            Really glad to see Gina Carano back as Cara Dune! What a great job she did with the role! One of my favorite characters in The Mandalorian! A person’s political beliefs and personal opinions should have nothing to do with consideration for someone’s employment. Those who think they do have already joined the “Empire!”

          6. Hytham

            That’s why the others get vaccinated. You are high risk, get vaccinated.

        2. Julian H

          I got vaccinated and proud of it and NEVER got it.

      3. Kiko

        If she groomed children instead of spoke out she wouldn’t be problematic

      4. AntoFal

        Nope. The ppl who actually faced the risk of dying-the elderly and immune impaired-received no benefit from the vaccine, except for a dose of false security

    3. JoJub-Jub

      Wrong. She was anti-trans, anti-vax, anti-mask, and anti-Semitic.

      It was that last one that was the “straw that broke the camel’s back”.

      When she was tweeting picks of the
      Holocaust, that’s what got her fired.

      1. Edward Courtney

        I notice you offer absolutely nothing in the way of one single shred of evidence that any if those things are true….And that means you are behaving like a self hating bigot and a Marxist who is misinformed uneducated and suffering from mass hysteria and a victim of the Dunning Kruger effect…I hope you are only acting that way and it isn’t who you really are.
        I understand that is a tactic of Marxist leftist…level allegations and in defending themselves you get to paint those you disagree with as something they are not but u really should turn from that as eventually they will come for you also…and u will realize to late how evil and disgusting your behavior is

    4. Edward Courtney

      That is correct…I am an MD and have been horrified at how awful and foolish people have acted.
      That includes the shameful author of this article. ” eagle eyed fans” how about over opinionated uneducated or misinformed fanatics suffering from. Mass hysteria and who can’t wait to step on the rights of others

    5. Dave

      That is just speculation, until Disney comes out and officially apologizes and gives Gina Carano a contract then no this is all rumor and hype to get more views.

    6. Ken

      Really? Isn’t it ironic on the show, The Mandalorian, the characters are showing forgiveness to each other and trying to stop infighting.

      Yet, the fans fight and cannot forgive. Her words were wrong. But is their no redemption and no forgiveness.

      Who are you to judge?

    7. Gary

      I await her return. Modern McCarthyism must end. Gina should be judged by the content of what she brought to the Mandelorian, namely s kick ass and take names type character.

    8. Sean M

      No one wants that trash back.

      Besides, she was “making a movie” that would “blow Star Wars out of the water”, right?

    9. Philip Hunn

      LOL no. The whiny science-illiterates who wailed about vaccination will be laughed at forever.

  2. Bert

    Never heard of her.

    1. Dingus McFlingus

      You lie

    2. Alpha

      About time Star Wars and Disney reversed course! Who cares what opinions an actor has outsidevof their job! All you pro and anti Vax people get a life and share your political views somewhere else!

  3. J

    I don’t see her a the one that’s controversial. I see the little wokester crying babies as the controversial ones. It’s all about reality.

  4. to bad bert ur missinf out not only a one hot ass woman bit one with smarts and she probably could beat ir ass to

  5. Tallgoblin37

    Your proof of this? I never received the vaccine and never will. Caught it twice, as a few others that have never had the vaccine. Yet, here we are, still alive and kicking. As many others are. I bet your proof was from Joe Biden or CNN?

    1. Dee_Hoss

      So how many other people did your ignorance kill?

      You real proud of yourself running around like the love child of Johnny Appleseed & Typhoid Mary ain’t ya? I wonder how many decent people got stuck with your Darwin award?

      1. Tobalaz

        Probably none. People that weren’t jabbed stayed home sick while jabbed people continued about their lives while sick actively spreading.

      2. NWO

        And how many people your ignorance kill???
        Vaccine has many side affects and don’t stop virus from spreading how low IQ you believe in it

        1. Julian H

          Wise up NWO, vaccines saved lives.

  6. Only two genders

    Meanwhile , James Gunn can tweet about raping children , keep his job and not be considered controversial at all.

    1. Josh

      In all fairness, it’s because Hollywood fully supports pedo life…

  7. Jerena

    She can’t act. All of y’all saying it’s about woke or the jab. It’s not. SHE CANT ACT. PAPER IS A BETTER ACTRESS.

  8. Sal..

    Don’t care for her .. or any these so called wrestlers that think they can be big star actors .. Cena and the like.

  9. Julian H

    Well i hope that Gina does come back, she made the series so much better than it is, and was a great character. Its a shame C. Kennedy had to poke her nose in where it is not wanted.

  10. Mason

    Gina Carano did nothing wrong. What she said has aged well.

  11. TROY S

    I thought Disney and Bob Iger had come to their senses about Gina Carano. Nope! Disappointed.

  12. Bob Lemmon

    It’s highly amusing that the argument goes from ‘a pandemic of the unvaccinated’ to ‘the vaccinated need to be protected from the unvaccinated’ and on and on. Lemmings in their rush to the sea show more sense than the morons insisting on ineffective faux vaccines.

    1. Julian H

      Well Bob Vaccines work if you don’t want one more fool you (whos the Moron). I’m up to date and never had Covid thankfully but many many people died your comments are ill informed clearly. . You can please yourself, but if you have not had Covid or did get it bad good for you lucky I guess. That said many many people were not so lucky. have some decency for those that died instead of your crap.

      1. Not Vaccinated

        Keep getting your boosters 🐑.

    2. Julian H

      You sound like the Moron to me, with your clueless theories.

  13. Andrew

    Controversial why? Because she spoke her mind and what she believed. Only in this day and age is that a crime

  14. Dusty

    You will soon find out who the problems are.

  15. JG

    Love GC don’t think anyone can do the part like her. It’s about time the actors stand up for what they believe and not for what is polically correct.

  16. Stompydog

    They actually did bring Cara Dune back. She was one of the bodies in the shuttle carrying Moff Gideon.

  17. John

    All you far left wing nuts are draging this COVID bs out as long as you can so you can hide your pedo, looting and rioting faces behind mask.

    1. Not Vaccinated

      Exactly!

      1. Laughing Crow

        I love how not getting the mRNA vaccine for whatever reason somehow made it seem as though we all where anti ALL vaccines. I seem to remember all the crazy liberal moms being anti vax stating it caused autism. what a sad world of name calling and pointing fingers.

  18. Not Vaccinated

    Only 🐑 care about 💉. Us wolves are just fine now watching the clot 💉take you out.

    1. SSM12

      You’re not wolves. You’re morons.

      1. Laughing Crow

        you’re the moron

  19. Frank R

    I don’t think that Gina Carano should come back. She should avoid Disney like the plague.

  20. Laughing Crow

    I love how not getting the mRNA vaccine for whatever reason somehow made it seem as though we all where anti ALL vaccines. I seem to remember all the crazy liberal moms being anti vax stating it caused autism. what a sad world of name calling and pointing fingers.

  21. Karl Keener

    I’m glad she is back. She is believable and an integral part of the stories. I don’t agree with her opinion but I don’t judge people by their beliefs.

  22. Phil dabus

    Woke heads are popping off gender confused bodies. 😆😆

  23. Gern Blanston

    The only thing “controvesrial” or “problematic” was that moron disney/lucasfilm exec firing her in the first place!!!

    She is being brought back BECAUSE IT WAS ALL A CROCK BS!

  24. Sean M

    I have no use for that ugly skank.

  25. Ray

    Finally!

  26. Bobo

    Totally correct…it was WOKE Disney denying her right to free speech and they put their own spin on what she really said!!! She was an important part of this series and they are seeing how they screwed up!

  27. summerhorse

    Gina never posted anything ANTI anything or anyone. Only people with incredibly poor reading comprehension would think any of those tweets said that. She was not anti-vax she was for the freedom to chose. What happened to My Body, My Choice? Especially once it was obious that the vaccines did NOT prevent spread AND the companies knew that all along and lied about it. She should never have been fired. Never mind that LucasFilm employees including the one in the helmet posted vile things on twitter all the time and never got even a tiny slap on the wrist from anyone. But anyway there is no indication that Gina is coming back to the Mandalorian, I don’t know where the author gets that.

  28. summerhorse

    Also a few months ago it was known Mercedes Varnardo was indeed coming back to Mando.
