In an Instagram post on Monday evening, Osnes confirmed that she has not been vaccinated but said Page Six's report had made "erroneous allegations" that generated "a firestorm of negative conclusions and comments." <div type="image" title="A picture of Laura Osnes at Carnegie Hall in 2018." height="2579" width="3600" msid="85399840" hostid="261"></div>In the post, Osnes said that she accepted an invitation to perform at the Guild Hall in May but was informed in June that "protocols had changed" and she would now need to provide proof of vaccination to participate."I was disappointed but responded that I would have to withdraw, as I have not yet gotten the vaccine," Osnes wrote.Osnes continued to deny that any of her co-stars "pressed" her on the issue of vaccinations - which Page Six reported had happened. "It was a drama-free and discrete transition," she wrote.Page Six also reported that an unnamed representative for the Guild Hall said performers had the option to provide either "proof of full vaccination or a recent negative COVID test result" to participate in a production. Later in her Instagram statement, however, Osnes wrote that the option of a recent negative COVID test had not been extended to her."I would have tested in a heartbeat - something that I have been doing for months and will continue to do so, in order to keep working safely," Osnes wrote.Citing anonymous sources, Page Six further reported that Osnes said she doesn't trust any of the COVID-19 vaccines. The publication did not state why. All three of the vaccines authorized in the US have been <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/vaccines-are-remarkably-safe-finds-20-year-study-2020-7?r=US&amp;IR=TIR=T">proven safe and effective</a>. Earlier this month, Insider's Erin Snodgrass reported that a new study estimated around <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/us-vaccine-rollout-saved-nearly-300000-lives-report-says-2021-7?r=US&amp;IR=TIR=T">300,000 lives have been saved and 1.25 million hospitalizations prevented</a> due to America's vaccine program.Osnes concluded her statement by writing that she stands by the decision she and her husband have made for their "family planning, and our future.""There is so much that is still unknown. Someday, perhaps we will feel more confident in the research to consider a different position," she wrote. "With the information that is currently available, however, I have a conviction that I (and many others, both in and out of my industry) feel compelled to stand by."Insider has reached out to both the Guild Hall and Page Six for comment. Osnes withdrawal and statement comes as the Broadway League, which represents the owners and operators of all 41 Broadway theaters in New York City, set a new mandate that requires all audience members as well as performers, backstage crew, and theatre staff <a href="https://www.broadwayleague.com/press/press-releases/broadway-theatres-in-new-york-city-announce-vaccination-and-mask-requirement-for-audiences/">to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 for all live performances</a> through to October 2021.Masks are also required for audiences inside the theatre.Vaccine mandates have become increasingly common across the US. Later this year, employees of the federal government <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/biden-all-federal-employees-must-be-vaccinated-or-tested-2021-7?r=US&amp;IR=TIR=T">will be required to get the shot.</a>Last week, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/over-half-of-us-population-vaccinated-for-covid-19-2021-8?r=US&amp;IR=TIR=T">Insider's Connor Perrett reported that 50.1% of the US population</a> has been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC data states that 58.5% of the population is partially vaccinated, meaning they've only received the first part of the two-part vaccination process.

In a statement given to Page Six, the Guild Hall theater's artistic director Josh Gladstone said the theater had implemented a "requirement" that is "along the lines of what Actors' Equity is requiring and what Broadway is requiring" for performances to take place. The Broadway League, which represents the owners and operators of all 41 Broadway theaters in New York City, currently requires all audience members as well as performers, backstage crew, and theatre staff to be <a href="https://www.broadway.org/info/covid-19-updates/">fully vaccinated against COVID-19</a> for all live performances through to October 2021. Masks are also be required for audiences inside the theatre."We're sorry not to have Laura on this, [and] we will look forward to working with Laura again. We are concerned about maintaining the safety of our staff and our audiences," Gladstone's statement continued. "We're very excited with the cast that we have, and we're delighted Susan [Stroman, the show's choreographer] has put together a beautiful evening."<div type="image" title="Actress Laura Osnes (R) performs a scene from Rodgers and Hammerstein's &quot;Cinderella&quot; during the American Theatre Wing's annual Tony Awards in New York June 9, 2013.

Osnes, who picked up a Tony nomination in 2012 for her role in a musical rendition of "Bonnie &amp; Clyde," previously told the <a href="https://reflectionsinthelight.blogspot.com/2013/06/interview-laura-osnes-of-broadways.html#.YRZXdtNKj9E">Christian theater blog site Reflections in The Light</a> that she often feels like she is judged for being "so sweet and so conservative." She told the blog that the word "Christian" can get "such a bad rap," and she instead uses words like "contemporary" and "worship" to describe her faith.Earlier this week, Insider's Connor Perrett <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/over-half-of-us-population-vaccinated-for-covid-19-2021-8?r=US&amp;IR=TIR=T">reported that 50.1% of the US population has been fully vaccinated</a> against COVID-19, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
