SAG PRESIDENT FRAN DRESCHER FIGHTS for HOLLYWOOD VAXXINE CHOICE
in that "Nanny" state, the ORIGINAL nanny FIGHTS THE GOOD FIGHT !
“Weeeell, doggies!” as Jed would say. Wahoo Fran!!!! She's puttin up a fight to change those vexing, killer “vaxxine” mandates for film and teevee!
Okay friends, I'm supposed to be packing ALL DAY today (long story from a big procrastinator) but this was such a BIG (GOOD) NEWS blast that I HAD TO post about it at least briefly. Iffin’ ya didn’t know it, I started this blog cuz we are a fiercely un-jabbed theater/film/performer family BANNED from nearly EVERYTHING (activity-wise) that meant ANYTHING to us. The excommunication is not just from SAG shows, of course, but this is a HUGE start in the RIGHT direction! NOBODY else in theater or film has been proposing the lifting of these crazy bans. Read the good tidings!
KEY QUOTES (my emphasis):
Drescher said that “with thousands of unvaccinated members still unable to work, all new information begs review and consideration before deciding our position on the next RTWA [Return to Work Agreement].”
“All I ask is we educate ourselves with the newest science and make an informed decision because members’ livelihoods hang in the balance,” she added.
and
Drescher also wrote in her article “that giving employers the discretionary rights to decide which of us can or can’t work based on our medical history is a dangerous slippery slope.”
and
This was evident at a July 23 SAG-AFTRA board meeting, held online, where, according to Deadline.com, “members of the guild’s political factions that supported [Drescher’s] election last year reportedly yelled at her … claiming that she was ‘misinformed’ about some aspects of the effectiveness of the vaccine.”
One unnamed individual who attended the meeting said, “The board blew up at [Drescher] for two hours,” adding “she took a lot of unfair, disrespectful attacks for speaking her truth.”
Another individual who attended the online meeting is said to have described “the tone of the room” as “overwhelmingly pro-vaccine, pro-protecting our members, and pro-return-to-work protocols.”

I am SO grateful to hear that Drescher fought the crowd (and boy golly they can be vicious…) to promote the most reasonable talk that’s come outta Tinseltown in quite a long time.
Funny thing, funny lady, though you have not been in my thoughts since my daughters and I rewatched your cute turn in the hilarious This Is A Spinal Tap about six months ago, I literally JUST mentioned you yesterday, in passing when opinin' that the tackily-named "Re:Find" brand booze bottle "gifted to" Anne Heche (from her so called "friends") sounds like something Drescher's Nanny would have made up (pronounced refoined of course!). Regrettably named liquor aside, let's toast this loud-mouthed New Yorker (from QUEENS no less)!
Go FRAN!
