Covid cert and public pool and gym

Ah I think I understand why you continue to incorrectly state that the Gym have changed their T&Cs. You believe that the government has no power to restrict non vaccinated people to gyms & pubs. That's a very different argument & not what OP has asked. The gym are implementing government restrictions. You also continue to say that the gym can't restrict a members access & continue to charge them. First off They aren't continuing to charge OP. OP for some very strange reason paid for a year in the middle of a pandemic when gyms were likely to be closed most of the year. So long as the gym extends OPs membership by the length of time that they are denied access on public health grounds then OP isn't losing anything that they paid for.

It's not helpful to state that T&Cs have been altered just because you don't agree with the public health measures decided by the government. If you knew anything about T&Cs you'd know this isn't true. IF the T&Cs were changed then OP will win hands down in a small claims case BUT so long as OP gets the 12 months they paid for (even if it takes 2 years) then they don't have a case.

It doesn't exist, the thread was started by a burner account to give a platform to the 'But, But, Me Fraydumbs" brigade.

The reality is the vast vast majority of people in gyms and elsewhere are vaccinated and they don't want some malcontent who has Bitchute'd themselves retarded anywhere near them.

It's not a condition of membership!!! OP is a member of the gym. It's not safe for OP to be indoors with other people. For their own safety & to reduce the strain they are putting on our hospitals the aren't allowed indoors in many venues. An organ transplant was canceled only a few weeks ago due to the strain unvaccinated are putting on our system. This doesn't effect the T&Cs of his membership, no matter how many times you say it does.

Do you really think someone took out a years gym membership in the middle of the pandemic knowing that they would be shut for most of this year & maybe again next year? All gyms are doing monthly memberships at the moment.This thread is a feeble excuse to start a Covid vaccine thread in the hope that it doesn't get merged with the big thread. If genuine then it's not really suitable for this forum. It's a consumer affairs issue.

You should take a little break there my friend. I'm not trying to make out you are an anti vax nut as you suggest but you may be coming across as one with your comments?

Testosterone, Deca, Dianabol, Winstrol, Clenbuterol, Growth Hormone, Insulin, Desmopressin, Chlortalidone, GHB, Ephedrine all bought off a dodgy Hungarian website just to put on a bit of muscle - all good.

Taking pills and coke (with hidden ingredients like novocain, various amphetamines and levamisole thats been cut in some Moroccan mudhut) at the weekend because theyre calorie free - All good.

Life saving vaccine developed by scientists in a lab and produced under the strictist of regulations- "Oh you're a sheep, whats in it, its untested, trust the science lol".

Ever heard the expression: Flogging a dead horse?

You're talking out of your arse if you think that's what going to the gym is about.

Isn't that one of the side effects of the listed medications?

It's been noted alright.

OP is the only person I've heard of that bought a years gym membership during the pandemic. Gyms all moved to monthly & weekly membership. Ben Dunne scrapped the 12 Month sub altogether. Who would biy 12 months membership when gyms are rolling in & out of lockdown? Someone is trying to push their anti vax agenda imo

These are the only cases for discrimination in Ireland. Which of these apply to you? Do they also apply to people who are not allowed in the pool for not having a hat?

Under the Sale of Goods and Supply of Services Act 1980

Goods and service are of merchantable quality. They muse be fit for the purpose. If the unvaxinated person states that this is no longer the case due to the addition of the requirement of a COVID pass then they can request a refund for the remainder of their membership. If they gym still refuses then state you will take them to the small claims court as you will win.

A relative took this advise from me last year when at his gym they no longer had showers operational and they had to refund the membership. 

On a side note as not to be anti-business most gyms would be reasonable and allow you to freeze your membership until the COVID cert is removed but if you want to cancel and get a refund for the part remaining you are 100% within your rights to do that too.

yes I can see the difference, a swimming hat prevents the filters from being blocked.

a vaccine reduces the risk of passing Covid, no vaccine means potentially killing someone and costing the economy billions

we get it - you are anti-vax

ok 👍️

so you are not Anti-vax .. but you would have sentiments that would against the vaccine for global pandemic?

To a much lesser extent. The virus doesn’t develop as much and is less transmissible

you'd be wasting your time trying to explain this to people who just don't want to know. The same type of people who insist that 50% vaxed and unvaxxed in ICU means that the vaccine is pointless ... despite the massive elephant in the room of the 90%+ people who are vaccinated ... so a tiny proportion of the population make up for 50% of the ICU beds.

There really isn't a need for a Covid Cert anyway - as the unvaxxed are usually very quick to tell you that they are unvaxxed .... and they tend to use language like 'medical procedure' rather than vaccination ... and throw discrimination around a lot too. Thankfully they are in the minority and to a fair extent can just be ignored

People who ask these questions don’t want answers they want validation

Any thoughts on why it's a tiny minority?

so now you are accusing me of being a NPHET / Gov fanatic - I have been very critical of the government since the start of this madness and I personally think NPHET have been over the top with their modelling and messaging.

However - my wife has 20 years experience of working with vaccines as a pharmaceutical scientist and I trust her opinion / research / advise well before I’d trust any self declared facebook expert.

I deal in scientific facts given to me from a trusted scientist … this will be lost on you I know .. but those are the facts
