Why No One Can Force You to Get the Covid Jab
Brilliant exposure of Loree McBride's criminal Covid operation.

Pfizer/BioNTech's Comirnaty COVID shot was approved (licensed) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in late August 2021, but only for adults, and only when carrying the Comirnaty label. No other COVID shot has been FDA approved. However, Comirnaty is currently not available, and while the experimental, emergency use authorized (EUA) Pfizer shot is substituted for Comirnaty, the two products are clearly legally distinct and not the same
A licensed vaccine is not shielded from liability until or unless it's added to the recommended childhood vaccination schedule by the CDC. So, if you were injured by Comirnaty, you could sue Pfizer. You cannot sue if injured by the EUA Pfizer shot (or any of the other EUA COVID injections)
Even though several hundred claims have been filed with the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) for injuries resulting from the COVID shots — which is the only possible avenue to obtain damages — not a single claim has been paid out
Natural immunity is much stronger than what you can achieve from the injection, which only provides antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and wanes within a few months. The shots may in fact permanently limit the kind of immune response you would make were you to later be exposed or infected with COVID
Children's Health Defense has filed a lawsuit arguing you cannot have a vaccine that is both an emergency use product and a licensed product at the same time. That's against the law, but the government has done it anyway. Remarkably, the request for an injunction was initially thrown out, but the CHD has not given up and is still pursuing the case
In this interview, Dr. Meryl Nass, an internist specializing in toxicology, vaccine-induced illnesses and Gulf War illness, shares her insights into the dangers of the COVID jab, which received an emergency use authorization October 26, 2021, for children as young as 5.
We also discuss the conflicts of interest within the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that seem to be behind this reckless decision, and how the agency pulled the wool over our eyes with its approval of Pfizer/BioNTech's Comirnaty COVID injection.
Is the COVID Jab Approved or Not?
As explained by Nass:
"All of the COVID 'vaccines,' and most of the COVID treatment products, have not been [FDA] approved. Approved means licensed. All except one, which is the Pfizer vaccine for adults, age 16 and up, which got approved, i.e., licensed on August 23 [2021].
But every other vaccine, and for every other age group, including the boosters, have only been authorized under emergency use authorizations (EUAs). There's a critical difference [between licensing and EUA]. Once a drug is fully licensed, it is subject to liability.
If the company injures you with that product, you can sue them, unless it later gets put on the CDC's childhood schedule or is recommended by the CDC [U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] [during] pregnancy, in which case it obtains a different liability shield.
It then becomes part of the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP, established under the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act), and 75 cents from every dose of vaccine that is sold in the United States goes into a fund to pay for injuries that way."
The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act removed liability for all vaccines recommended by the CDC for children. Since 2016, they've also removed liability for vaccines given to pregnant women, a category that has become the latest "gold rush" for vaccines. Naturally, once a company is no longer liable for injuries, the profitability of the product in question increases dramatically.
Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program Is Nearly Useless
Products under emergency use have their own special government program for liability called the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP). "It is a terrible program," Nass says. CICP is an offshoot of the 2005 PREP Act.
"The PREP act enabled the CICP to be created by Congress," Nass explains. "Congress has to allocate money for it. If you are injured by an emergency use product, you don't get any legal process. The companies have had all their liability waived. There is a single process that is administered through HHS [Health and Human Services].
Some employees there decide whether you deserve to be compensated or not. The maximum in damages you can obtain is about $370,000 if you're totally disabled or die, and the money is only to compensate you for lost wages or unpaid medical bills."
So far, even though several hundred CICP claims have been filed for injuries resulting from the COVID shots, not a single claim has been paid out. This is important, because the statute of limitations is one year. "It's getting close to running out for people who were vaccinated early," Nass says.
If you fail to apply in time, you lose the opportunity to get any compensation entirely. "Of course, in fact, it's really 'an opportunity' to apply and get nothing because almost nobody gets paid," she says. At that point, you have no further recourse. There's no appeals process to the judicial system.
"You can ask the HHS twice to compensate you, and if they say no, that's it," Nass explains. "You can attempt to sue the company that made the product, if you're convinced it was improperly made, but the secretary of HHS has to give you the permission to sue.
You have to prove that there was willful misconduct and no one has ever reached that bar. So, there has never been a lawsuit under this. Anyway, that's what you're looking at. If you get the vaccine under EUA and are injured, you're on your own. People have no idea about this when they vaccinate themselves or their children."
Why Were the Shots Mandated?
As you know by now, president Biden decided to mandate the COVID jab for most federal employees (but not all) and private companies with 100 employees or more. "We don't know why that is," Nass says. It doesn't make sense, as large numbers of Americans have already recovered from COVID-19 and have durable, long-lasting immunity already.
As correctly noted by Nass, natural immunity is much stronger than what you can achieve from the injection, which only provides antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and wears off within a few months. The shots "may in fact permanently limit the kind of immune response you would make were you to be infected with COVID later," Nass says.
For these reasons, there's absolutely no good reason to vaccinate people who have recovered from the infection and several bad reasons. There's evidence showing the shot can be more harmful for those with existing immunity.
"But for reasons best known to itself, the Biden administration feels so certain it needs to vaccinate everybody that it has used illegal means to tell employers they will lose federal contracts if they don't force their employees to be vaccinated immediately, and must fire them — if they're health care workers, for example, or government employees, or military — if they have not been vaccinated.
Obviously that is creating a great deal of chaos, particularly within the health care industry, particularly in my state, Maine, where these draconian rules have gone into effect and many fire department, police, EMTs, nurses and doctors can no longer work.
The one thing that was necessary to push mandates forward was for the government to be able to say it had a licensed product. Before the emergency use authorization was created in 2005, you had licensed drugs and you had experimental drugs and nothing else.
There was no gray area between them. Any use of a medication or vaccine that is not fully licensed is still experimental, despite the fact that a new category of drugs has been created with emergency use authorizations.
These are still experimental drugs, so under emergency use, you can't force people [to take them]. You have to offer them options and they have the right to refuse. Since that is part of the statute, the federal government can't get around it.
Therefore, attorneys in the Biden administration knew they could not legally impose mandates under an EUA, and so they demanded that FDA provide a COVID vaccine full approval, aka, an unrestricted license. This was believed to enable them to impose mandates.
They must have put pressure on the FDA, and FDA gave them what they wanted, which was a license for the Pfizer vaccine called Comirnaty on August 23 [2021]."
Comirnaty Approval Includes Important Caveats
In the documents released August 23, 2021, by the FDA, there were some interesting caveats. They said the Comirnaty vaccine is essentially equivalent to the EUA vaccine and the two vaccines may be used interchangeably. However, they pointed out that the two are legally distinct. Curiously, FDA didn't specify what these legal distinctions are.
"I concluded that the legal distinctions were the fact that under EUA, there was essentially no manufacturer liability, but once the vaccine got licensed, the manufacturer would be subject to liability claims unless and until the vaccine was placed on the childhood schedule or recommended in pregnancy, in which case it would then fall … under the NVICP," Nass says.
"Right now, Comirnaty is still not in that injury compensation program, and it's licensed, so it no longer falls under the CICP. So, it is in fact subject to liability if you get injured with a bottle that says Comirnaty on it. Of course, if you're Pfizer, what do you want to do?
You don't want to make that licensed product available until several months have gone by and Comirnaty has been put into the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. So, Pfizer and FDA have not made the licensed product available yet.
What has happened instead, in the military, is the FDA has made a secret deal with the military and said, certain emergency use lots can be considered equivalent to the licensed vaccine, and [told military medical staff] which QR codes — which lots can be used. [These specific lots] can then be given to soldiers as if they're licensed.
Subsequently, we're told that military clinics are actually putting Comirnaty labels onto bottles that are under EUA. Now, that probably can happen in the military, but only in the military, because there are likely to be memoranda of understanding within the military that we haven't seen yet that say soldiers cannot sue Pfizer for injuries …
In the military, the government and Pfizer feel like they have set up a situation where nobody can sue, but in the civilian world, that has not happened, and so there is no Comirnaty available.
Yet, on the basis that FDA licensed this product, the federal government is still telling employers that they can mandate it and that they must fire employees that have not taken the vaccine, or they will lose government contracts. We're in a very interesting situation that is ripe for litigation, and Children's Health Defense, which is an organization I represent, is litigating some of this.
However, the litigation situation has been very difficult since the pandemic began. Cases that normally would've been easy wins are being thrown out by the courts, both in the U.S. and in Europe. Something strange has happened and the judges are looking for any way out, so they don't have to rule on the merits of these cases."
The organization Children's Health Defense has filed a lawsuit arguing you cannot have a vaccine that is both an emergency use product and a licensed product at the same time. That's against the law, but the federal government did it anyway. Remarkably, the request for an injunction was initially thrown out, but Children's Health Defense hasn't given up and is still pursuing that case.
COVID Jab Is Authorized for 5- to 11-Year-Olds in the US
As mentioned, the FDA recently authorized the EUA COVID jab for children between the ages of 5 and 11, which is simply appalling, considering they are at virtually no risk from COVID-19. I've not seen a single recorded case in the entire world of anyone in that age group dying of COVID that didn't have a serious preexisting comorbidity, such as cancer.
If you have a healthy child, they are at no risk from the infection, so there's only danger associated with this shot, which in this age group would be one-third the adult dose. Typically, when you're giving a drug to a child, the dose is calculated based on the child's weight. Here, they're giving the same dose to a 5-year-old as an 11-year-old, despite there being a significant difference in weight. So, it's pure guesswork.
Worse yet, the mRNA vaccines produce an unpredictable amount of spike protein, and even if they produce much too much, there is no way to turn off the process once you have been injected.
Despite clear safety signals, the FDA's advisory committee authorized the Pfizer jab for 5- to 11-year-olds unanimously, 17-to-0 (with one abstaining vote). However, when you look at the roster of the FDA's committee members1 who reviewed and voted to authorize the Pfizer shot for children as young as 5, the unanimous "yes" vote becomes less of a mystery.
Abhorrent Conflicts of Interest
As reported by National File2 and The Defender,3 the membership of the FDA's Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) has had staggering conflicts of interest. Members have included:
A former vice president of Pfizer Vaccines
A paid Pfizer consultant
A recent Pfizer research grant recipient
A mentor to Raphael Simon, senior director of vaccine research and development at Pfizer
James Hidreth — President of Meharry Medical College, which administers Pfizer vaccines
A chair of the Independent Data Monitoring Committee for the Pfizer Group B Streptococcus Vaccine Program
An individual proudly photographed taking a Pfizer vaccine
Several people who are already on the record supporting coronavirus vaccines for children, including Ofer Levy, Jay Portnoy and Melinda Wharton
In addition to that, former FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb is currently on Pfizer's board of directors. As noted by Nass, two of the members, one permanent and one temporary, are also CDC career employees whose job it is to push vaccines at the CDC.
"If they voted against authorizing a vaccine, they would be out of a job," Nass says. "They have no business on that committee … It's a very unethical stew of advisory committee members …
What happened is Pfizer delivered a large package of information to the FDA on October 6, 2021. FDA staff had to go through this large packet of information on the 5- to 11-year-olds and produce their own report, which was about 40 pages long, and create talks to give to the advisory committee, and they did all of this in 17 days.
There was apparently very little critical thought that went into their presentations. Before the meeting, Children's Health Defense, and I was one of the authors, wrote to the committee and to FDA officials saying, 'Look, there's all these reasons that don't make logical or medical sense for vaccinating kids in this age group, because they almost never get very ill or die, and the side effects of the vaccine are essentially unknown.
We know there are a lot of side effects, but the federal government has concealed from us the rate at which these side effects occur. But we know that the rate from myocarditis is very high, probably at least 1 in 5,000 young males … which is a very serious side effect. It can lead, probably always leads, to some scarring. It can lead to sudden death, to heart failure."
Trials in Young Children Were Insufficient
As explained by Nass, in the clinical trial, there were two groups of children. The first group was enrolled for two to three months, while the second group was enrolled for just 17 days after receiving the second dose. (Pfizer added the second group because FDA claimed there weren't enough volunteers in the first group.)
These two groups comprised over 3,000 children who got the jab and 1,500 or 2,000 who got a placebo. None suffered serious side effects. This was then translated into the claim that the injection was safe. However, as noted by Nass:
"They didn't look at safety in all these kids. Even though FDA had said, 'Add kids to your clinical trial,' Pfizer created a 'safety subset' of one-tenth of the vaccinated subjects.
It was this small number of kids from whom they drew blood to show they had adequate levels of neutralizing antibodies, which was a surrogate for efficacy, because they didn't have enough cases of COVID in this abbreviated trial to show that the vaccine actually works in this age group."
Even though the advisory committee acknowledged that the blood test done for efficacy had not been validated, and wasn't reliable evidence of effectiveness, they still decided that all children, regardless of health status, would benefit from the injection.
They also ignored the fact that at least half the children are already immune, and giving them the injection will provide no additional benefit in terms of immunity, while putting them at increased risk for serious side effects.
"Nobody said, 'Look, the parents of healthy kids may be dying for a vaccine, but that's because we haven't told them the truth about the vaccine. We haven't told them their kids don't need it. We haven't told them it's going to potentially damage future immunity.
We haven't told them they're at higher risk of side effects than if they never had COVID. We're not allowing them to go get antibody tests to establish that they're already immune and therefore should be waved from being vaccinated.'
The committee members were aware of all this stuff, but in the end [they voted yes] … apart from one very smart member of the committee who works for the National Institutes of Health. He abstained. He didn't have the guts to vote no, but he knew this was a bad idea."
Children Are Being Injected Without Parental Consent
While all of that is bad enough, parents of young children now face the possibility of their children being injected against their will and without their knowledge. Nass comments:
"As I said, we don't know why the government wants everybody vaccinated, but there's probably a reason that goes beyond protecting us from COVID.
The government got the FDA to authorize the vaccine for 12- to 15-year-olds on May 10 [2021], and subsequently that group, which is about 6 million kids, has been getting vaccinated across the country. That's under emergency use so, again, you can't sue.
But something kind of evil happened, which was many cities began vaccinating 12- to 15-year-olds in the absence of parental permission. So, a child could show up with their friends or a friend's mother at a vaccine center and get vaccinated with no one asking about their medical history, nobody calling the parents. No notation got entered into the child's medical record that they were vaccinated.
Vaccinators were told to make their own assessment. If they thought this child could give consent, go ahead and vaccinate. Now, that is a gross violation of our laws, and yet it was happening in Boston, in Philadelphia, in Seattle, in San Francisco, and we have good documentation of it.
The government currently is planning for mobile vaccination clinics for kids and vaccinations in schools, and they may take this program of vaccinating without parental consent down to the 5- to 11-year-olds …
In fact, we may see clinics popping up that don't require informed consent in the 5- to 11-year-old group. Let me just mention that the chief medical officer in Canada's British Columbia said they have brought laws that allow children of any age to consent for themselves. Think about that. A baby can consent for vaccinations for itself. It would be funny if it wasn't so diabolical."
All of this goes against the most basic concept of medical ethics, which is informed consent. No one has the right to perform a medical procedure on you without your consent, or the consent of a legal guardian. The government, again, without establishing any new laws, is simply bypassing the legal system.
Will Young Children Be at Risk for Myocarditis?
Based on her review of the scientific literature, Nass suspects younger children in the now COVID jab-approved, 5- to 11-year-old age group will be at exponentially higher risk of myocarditis and other side effects compared to the 12- to 15-year group, where we've already seen a documented increase.
"In the letter that Children's Health Defense wrote to the advisory committee for the FDA, we created a graph based on the reporting rate of myocarditis versus age, and we showed there was an exponential curve.
Men aged 65 and up had a rate that was 1/100th the rate of boys aged 12 to 17. If that exponential curve keeps going up, the rate in the 5- to 11-year-olds could be even dramatically higher. In those young men, a 1 in 5,000 rate was reported to VAERS [Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System]. That's not a real rate.
That just tells us how many people got diagnosed with myocarditis, and then went to the trouble of reporting it to the FDA. The FDA and CDC have a large number of other databases from which they can gather rates of illness.
VAERS is considered passive reporting. It is not considered fit for purpose to establish illness rates because we don't know how many people report. Do 1 in 10 report, 1 in 100, 1 in 50? Nobody knows.
However, again, because everything is crazy since the pandemic came in, the CDC has tried to pull the wool over our eyes and has claimed that the rate of anaphylaxis in the population from COVID vaccines is identical to their reporting rate to VAERS. We know that's not true.
On the CDC's website, that's what they have. Elsewhere on the website, they say you can't take a VAERS rate and call it an actual rate of reactions, but they've done that [for anaphylaxis]. And they're trying to obfuscate the fact that they're not giving you real rates, and sort of pretending that the myocarditis rate is probably the VAERS reporting rate of myocarditis, although they're not saying so directly."
Nass goes on to recount an example from the smallpox vaccine, which also caused myocarditis. A military study that just looked at cases sent to specialists found roughly 1 in 15,000 developed myocarditis. A military immunologist then dug deeper, and drew blood on soldiers before and after vaccination, and found a myocarditis rate of 1 in 220 after receiving the smallpox vaccine.
However, 1 soldier in 30 developed subclinical myocarditis where troponin rose from normal to more than two times the upper limits of normal. While asymptomatic, 1 in 30 had measurable inflammation of the heart. "Right now, in terms of what the rate is for COVID, nobody is looking, no federal agency wants to find out the real rate," Nass says.
You Can't Find Problems You Refuse to Look For
A simple study that measures troponin levels — a marker for heart inflammation and damage — before and after each dose, could easily determine what the real rate of myocarditis is, yet that is not being done.
"This is what we're dealing with," Nass says. "All these databases, which is about a dozen different databases, that CDC and FDA said they could access to determine the rates of side effects after vaccination with COVID vaccines, they're either not being used or being used improperly," Nass says.
"It was discovered that a new algorithm was being used to study the VAERS database that only came into use in January 2021, immediately after the vaccines were authorized, and the algorithm was developed such that you compare two vaccines to each other.
If the pattern of side effects was similar between the two vaccines — which is often the case because there's a limited number of general vaccine adverse reactions — even if one vaccine has a thousand times more side effects as the one it is being compared to, by using this flawed algorithm, if the pattern of reactions was the same, even though the rates were 1,000 times higher for one, the algorithm would fail to detect a problem.
That is the algorithm they're using to analyze VAERS [data]. They're also using bad methods … to analyze the vaccine safety database, which encompasses 12 million Americans who enrolled in HMOs around the country. The CDC pays for access to their electronic medical records and their data.
Somehow when these databases have been looked at carefully, they're finding very low rates of myocarditis in boys, approximately equal to the VAERS reporting. It was said months ago, 'We can't find a safety signal for myocarditis. We're not finding an anaphylaxis signal. we're not finding a Bell's palsy signal.'
The FDA's and CDC's algorithms couldn't pick up for most known side effects. So, there's something wrong with the analytic methods that are being used, but the agencies haven't told us precisely what they are. What we do know is that the rates of side effects that are being reported to VAERS are phenomenal.
They're orders of magnitude higher than for any previous vaccines used in the United States. An order of magnitude is 10-fold, so rates of reported adverse reactions are 10 to 100 times higher than what has been reported for any other vaccine. Reported deaths after COVID in the United States are 17,000+. It's off the charts.
Other side effects reported after COVID vaccinations total over 800,000. Again, more deaths and more side effects than have ever been reported for every vaccine combined in use in the U.S. cumulatively over 30 years."
Despite all this shocking data, our federal agencies look the other way, pretending as if nothing is happening, and no matter how many people approach them — with lawsuits, with public comments, reaching out to politicians — they refuse to address blatantly obvious concerns. This is clear evidence that they're acting with intentional malice.
FDA has become Clown World, and what they do now is to perform a charade of all the normal regulatory processes that they are expected to perform … You're the guinea pigs, but they're not collecting the data. Nobody should get these shots. ~ Dr. Meryl Nass
The FDA and CDC are supposed to protect the public. They're supposed to identify safety concerns. They're not supposed to act as marketing firms for drug companies, but that's precisely what they've been converted to.
New Formulations Have Never Been Tested
Another truly egregious fact is that Pfizer has altered its formulation, allegedly to make it more stable, but this new formulation has never been included in any of the trials. Nass explains:
"During the October 26, 2021, VRBPAC [Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee] meeting, Pfizer said, 'Look, we want to give the vaccines in doctor's offices and we've found a way to stabilize the vaccine so we don't need those ultra-cold fridges anymore. We can put these vials in a doctor's office and, once defrosted, they can sit in a regular fridge 10 weeks and they'll be fine.'
Some committee members asked, 'OK, what'd you do? How did you make this marvelous discovery?' And they said, 'We went from the phosphate buffered saline buffer to a Tris buffer, and we slightly changed some electrolytes.' A committee member asked, 'OK, how did that make it so much more stable?' And everybody in the meeting from FDA and Pfizer looked at each other and said, 'We don't know.'
An hour later, Pfizer had one of their chemists get on the line, but he couldn't explain how the change in buffer led to a huge increase in stability, either. Then, later in the meeting, one of the members of the committee asked, 'Did you use this new formulation in the clinical trial?'
And Dr. Bill Gruber, the lead Pfizer representative, said, 'No, we didn't.' In other words, Pfizer plans, with FDA connivance, to use an entirely new vaccine formulation in children, after their clinical trials used the old formulation. This is grossly illegal. They've got a new formulation of vaccine. It wasn't tested in humans. And they're about to use it on 28 million American kids."
It's nothing short of a dystopian nightmare. Completely surreal. You can't make this stuff up. Yet as shocking as all this is, earlier this year, Dr. Anthony Fauci projected that these COVID jabs would be available for everyone, from infants to the elderly. Now they've got the 5-year-olds, and there's every reason to suspect they'll go after newborns and infants next.
Whose Babies Will Be Offered Up as Sacrificial Lambs?
According to Nass, Pfizer and the FDA have struck a deal that will allow Pfizer to test on babies even younger than 6 months old, even if there's no intention to inject infants that young. Those trials may begin as early as the end of January 2022.
"This arrangement between FDA and Pfizer will give Pfizer its extra six months of patent protection, whether or not these vaccines are intended to be used in those age groups. So, you can look at these trials as a way of almost sacrificing little children, because when you start a trial, you don't know what the dangers are going to be.
I could be wrong, but I doubt we're going to give these to newborn babies the way we give the hepatitis B vaccine on the date of birth, yet they will be tested in very young babies. The question is, whose babies get tested? In the past, sometimes the babies that got tested were foster children, wards of the state. Sometimes parents offer up their children. But there will be clinical trials."
When will we get the data from those trials? It turns out that in the agreements reached between Pfizer and the FDA, some of those trials won't conclude until 2024, 2025 and 2027. The goal here is to vaccinate all Americans, children and adults, within the coming few months or a year, yet it'll be five years before we actually know from clinical trials what the side effects may be.
We're Living in Clown World
As noted by Nass, this is yet another crime. It may fulfill the letter of the law, but it doesn't fulfill the meaning of the law. It makes no sense to run clinical trials that won't be completed until five years after your mass vaccination program has been completed and the entire population is injected.
"It's just a joke to do that," Nass says. "But FDA has become Clown World, and what they do now is to perform a charade of all the normal regulatory processes that they are expected to do, but they're only doing them in an abbreviated or peculiar manner so that they don't really collect the important data.
For example, the control group has been vaccinated two months into the Pfizer trials, which effectively obscures side effects that develop after two months. Blood is not tested for evidence of myocarditis or blood clots using simple tests (troponin and D-dimer levels).
For all the Americans out there who haven't spent 20 years examining the FDA procedures like I have, these FDA advisory committee meetings are it's designed to make you think a real regulatory process is going on, when it's not. Instead we are all guinea pigs, but no one is collecting the data that would normally be required to authorize or approve a vaccine. Therefore, in my opinion, nobody should get these shots."
To make matters even worse, it's actually illegal to grant EUAs for these vaccines, because there are drugs that can prevent the condition (COVID), as well as treat it. EUAs can only be granted if there are no existing approved, available alternatives to prevent or treat the infection.
The effective drugs most have already heard of are ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, but there are a number of other drugs that also have profound effects on COVID, Nass says, including TriCor and cyproheptadine (Periactin).
TriCor, or fenofibrate, emulsifies lipid nanoparticles and fatty conglomerations that contain viruses and inflammatory substances. The drug essentially allows your body to break down the viral and inflammatory debris better. As such, it might also help combat complications caused by the nanoliposomes in the COVID shot.
According to Nass, Pepcid at high doses of up to 80 milligrams three times a day is also useful for treatment. Dr. Robert Malone is starting a clinical trial using a combination of Pepcid and celecoxib (brand name Celebrex). Many are also recommending aspirin to prevent platelet activation and clotting.
I believe a far better alternative to aspirin is lumbrokinase, and/or serapeptase. Both are fibrinolytic enzymes that address blood clotting. You can develop sensitivity to them, so I recommend alternating the two on alternate days for about three months if you've had COVID.
You could rule out blood clotting by doing a D-dimer test. If your D-dimer is normal, you don't need an anticlotting agent. If clotting is a concern, you could also use NAC in addition to these fibrinolytic enzymes. It too helps break up clots and prevent clot formation.
To learn more, be sure to peruse MerylNassMD.com and anthraxvaccine.blogspot.com. She typically posts something every day to her blogspot blog. In closing, Nass concludes:
"Remember, all the COVID jabs are authorized [under EUA], not licensed. They're all legally, technically, experimental. I know you can lose your job and all these terrible things can happen if you refuse the vaccine, but if you are injured by the shot, you won't be able to sue later. You will be on your own.
Legally, they can't force you to accept the vaccine while it is in EUA status because of the Nuremberg code, because of existing U.S. law about informed consent, and because of the actual statute on emergency use authorization, which says you have the right to refuse. They can't force you to take these [shots].
I know they are forcing you, but legally they can't, and please keep that in mind. Hopefully these wrongs will be redressed. Mandates are being walked back in many jurisdictions.
As I've told people, demand to see the bottle that says Comirnaty, because legally, they can force the licensed product on you, but there isn't any right now. So, you have an out for the next few months, hopefully.
They're really dangerous vaccines. What you don't know will hurt you. Please protect your children. If there's any way, don't get vaccinated. The more people who say no, the more the government is already backing down. In many cities, the imposed dates by which you have to be vaccinated have been pushed back.
Now Biden's administration is saying, 'Well, it's not going to be carved in stone. We're going to negotiate with people because they don't want to lose 30% or 40% of their staff.' So, be strong, protect yourself and your children. Know you're doing the right thing.
We've got a criminal organization running things now. This is a worldwide program of some kind designed to control us. Once we all figure it out, we can win. There's many, many more of us than there are of them."

Solway Goes Digital To Reach ESG Goals
Israel - Deutsch
Solway Investment Group marks fifth anniversary of Salzburg Festival collaboration with launch of digital platform for young talent and their mentors
Solway Investment Group
ZUG, Switzerland, Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- As the Salzburg Festival celebrates its centennial year, Solway Investment Group also commemorates its fifth anniversary of collaboration with the festival, with the launch of a new educational online platform based on its @creative.fellowship initiative.
This exciting "edutainment" programme aims to engage young creatives from different cultures and teach them about cooperation, critical thinking, problem solving and English language skills through the arts.
The new @creative.fellowship talent showcase platform is a development of Solway's existing new talent growth strategy run under the partnership with the Salzburg festival, which began in 2017 with residential youth opera camps, and more recently expanded to support jung&jede*r - the festival's extensive performance scheduling for children and young people.
Ordinarily, @creative.fellowship applicants have the opportunity to experience the Salzburg Festival's residential youth opera camps, which would be impossible in 2021 due to global travel restrictions. So, in response to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Solway has embraced the digital age and completely redesigned its youth initiative. In mid-February 2021 Solway, within its collaboration with the Salzburg Festival, will launch an expansive digital platform blending communication tools such as Zoom, WhatsApp, Miro and Notion with the resources of Instagram and TikTok.
In addition to English language tuition, which has always been included within the @creative.fellowship programme, the interactive "Art Academy", a series of sessions introducing opportunity for cultural exchange will be offered. The updated format will also include an eight-week music and dance online residency, run under the supervision of experts from the Salzburg Festival's youth department.
"Collaboration with the Salzburg Festival began as pure philanthropy, and over the years has grown into a full-scale educational initiative which has been integrated into Solway's ESG plans as one of the company's education goals," explained Dan Bronstein, Chairman of the Board of Solway Investment Group. "Our goal is to increase the number of young people and adults in our regions of operation - such as Ukraine, North Macedonia and Guatemala - who possess relevant skills, including the technical and vocational skills required to secure employment, good jobs and foster local entrepreneurship."
"In these unprecedented times for cultural institutions, we are thrilled to have an opportunity to explore the new realities of the digital world together with Solway. This educational journey through the new online universe gives us a powerful chance to reveal the significance of art in modern life. With all these tools on one platform, we can vividly illustrate that art and culture are not solely providers of entertainment but can also teach new generations life skills such as collaboration, communication and creation," commented Helga Rabl-Stadler, President of the Salzburg Festival.

We love going back to basics.
No matter what industry you're in, you probably hear about "brands" and "branding" all the time. And it's true that they're important to just about every business under the sun. But beyond logos on sneakers and emblems on cars…what is it exactly? Everybody talks brand, but how many of them can tell you what they mean by it?
A brand is not simply your logo. It's the sum total of all of the experiences, impressions, and knowledge a person has about your product, service, or company and is as much, or more, about the perceived emotional and functional benefits as the actual benefits or attributes of your product or service.
If you're in business and have customers, you have a brand, even if you're not actively defining and shaping it.
Brands help consumers choose you from a bewildering array of options. They reassure customers about the quality of your product or service. They encourage potential customers to identify with you and trust you, and repeat customers to be loyal and believe in your superiority.
Actually, you do. Through the value and service you and your employees provide on a daily basis. Even with a great logo, a bad service experience or poor product performance impacts your brand every time.
A good brand strategist and brand identity designer knows they can't fabricate a great brand. It has to grow from inside a company. What they can do is help the company discover, articulate, and creatively express the brand. And give you the tools to influence and manage it.
Branding is simply the process of being intentional and strategic about shaping the experience people have with your company; about taking every opportunity to express who you are, what makes you unique, and what value you offer. It includes researching and articulating what you stand for, expressing it tangibly ("brand identity," that's where logos come in), creating a long term strategy and guidelines, and then managing the daily interactions and touch points that customers have with your company in all their many forms.
When you are relocating, building a new facility, or introducing a new initiative, website, fleet, signage program, etc.
What does it cost to rebrand?
It's a good question, but a little like asking how much it costs to build a house. The variables of size, quality, materials, location, etc. make a fixed sticker price impractical. Our process and creative product is usually customized to the needs of the company, and the size and type of clients vary, but most would expect to invest $25,000-$50,000 on strategy and brand identity development. Clients with multiple sites or a lot of physical implementations (signs, fleets, print collateral, etc.) could invest much more simply in execution costs, so it's a good idea to inventory needs ahead of time.
A Brand Audit is frequently a good place to start, especially if you want to explore the idea and scope of rebranding, but are undecided about your need or timing.
Our Half-Day Brand Lab is also a great way to gain some insight and a hands-on critique of your current branding and communications in a low-key, interactive setting.
Or if you know you're ready to rebrand, call 503.961.5516 today to discuss your unique needs and to schedule a consultation.

Excercise Shiite Protest: Ajulo Laments Deaths, Insists Military Must Excercise Restraint in Use of Force
Shiite Protest: Ajulo Laments Deaths, Insists Military Must Excercise Restraint in Use of Force
November 24, 2018 Loknath Das
A legal practitioner and human rights activist, Dr. Kayode Ajulo, has decried the number of deaths that trailed the clashes between security agencies, particularly the military, and members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) also known as Shiites during their protest in Abuja last week.
Ajulo, however urged the military to apply restraint and observe international best practices in dealing with the Shiites as well as future protesters.
The rights activist gave the charge in a statement released to journalists Tuesday in Abuja.
In the statement titled, 'Protest or proccession not death sentence; the legality and moral downturns in Army intervention, use of force and the unwarranted loss of lives, Ajulo expressed need for the military to show respect for the human life.
While condemning the level of wanton vandalism of human lives, he described the incident as a departure from what humanity expected of a sane society.
"We cannot continue to live in such a state where Nigerians live their lives like budding tendrils of roses trapped helplessly in between a swathe of cactuses, labouring, against the overbearing weight of thorns and thistles to sprout and survive.
"Just not too long ago, a 23-year old Linda Angela Igwetu was gunned down by an officer of the Nigerian Police Force on the eve of her Passing out Parade from the mandatory one year NYSC program.
"By a similar stroke of ill-fate, 31-year Anita Akapson, United Kingdom returnee daughter of former Minister and Senator of Federal Republic of Nigeria, Easter Nenadi Usman, was gruesomely shot at close range by a senior officer of the Nigerian Police Force in Abuja.
"These instances are rather a tiny fraction of many more unfortunate occurrences where trigger happy policemen and military men open fire on unarmed innocent civilians who were either going about their businesses, seated in their cars or protesting peacefully on the streets", part of the statement read.
Ajulo stressed that even in a war situation, international humanitarian law regimes recognise the rights to life of civilians, enemies and accordingly, prescribes some measures of restraints in armed conflict.
"As a country, we must refrain from further attaching cosmetic value and sentiments to human lives. We must desist from according justification to these unbridled and unlawful killings. "This is the minimum we can do to give the world good impression as to the measure of worth we place on life", he said. Government must act differently. It must impress the need for restraint on the men of Nigerian army and sister security operatives. The life of a Nigerian, irrespective of faith, colour, political or ethnic label, must count!
While the army on its part admitted that 3 Shi'ites were killed during the fracas, the group put the figure well above 30.
Trouble ensued when the group who had taken to the streets to demand the release of their leader, Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, who has been in detention since December 2015 were prevented from entering the capital city.

Influential Car Reviewer Presents Leather-Free Challenge for Car CEOs
by Robin Raven 2nd April 2017 Updated 28th September 2020
influential car review channel recently presented a challenge for car CEOs to
move away from the prevalent use of animal skin in high-end vehicles. Thomas Majchrzak released a video on
Autogefühl where he asked car CEOs to switch from leather interiors to the many
cruelty-free, more sustainable alternatives.
Majchrzak is the talented journalist behind Autogefühl, a popular review site
with over three million views per month. The channel is all about helping
people get more out of driving and experiencing cars. It has a focus on
beautiful, fast cars. Car enthusiasts rely on its honest reviews and high
quality journalism to help them stay in the know and choose the right cars. That
makes this challenge directed toward car CEOs all that more powerful.
his video, which has already
received more than 23,000 views in only a couple of weeks, Thomas throws down
his challenge in no uncertain terms. He states that he expects car CEOs to
change the use of animal skin in cars. He speaks to the fact that his review
channel is a global community that does in-depth car reviews each year, and he
knows what people want. Fortunately, that is no longer leather interiors.
spoke of common misconceptions about leather in cars, saying, "The use of
animal skin in cars should belong to the past. Using leather in cars is perceived
as pure luxury, but is it really? It's also been said that it's just the waste
product of the meat industry. That is factually wrong. You could say an animal
is good for the neck first, then the other parts don't count. That doesn't make
any sense. So, when you buy leather, you directly support the factory farming
industry. You give them your money, and you are supporting that. They are
tortured and killed."
also recently talked to Plant Based News
about his challenge, stating, "The message I have for the car CEOs is actually
that you should start thinking about whether it's necessary to put animal skin
on the seat. There are so many different options we have nowadays."
went on to explain, "I really want more of the sustainable technologies for car
seats. There is so much available – like fabric and leatherette – and I really
want the CEOs to think about how much cruelty is involved with animal skin
production. You cannot do it without harm, and we really need to change that."
also denies that he is "some crazy environmentalist", stating that it's just "the
thought of logic, heart, and empathy." He implores people to look at how animal
skin is produced, explaining how it always involves the suffering of animals,
people, and for the planet.
also calls out the hypocrisy of some sustainability moves among car companies. "So,
if you think about sustainability, an electric car with leather seats doesn't
make sense. That would be like ordering alcohol-free beer and a liquor. That's how
you could compare it."
lamented that car CEOS, when inviting media to events, always show the highest
spec with the animal skin interior. That's not ideal for many reasons,
including the fact that it's expensive for the customer, and he states that
automobile journalists would rather use and test sustainable options.
car companies are already making strides with non-leather options. Car
companies like Tesla and Mercedes-Benz offer leatherette and other options that
don't use animal skin. However, he also states that the car companies that do
offer non-leather options don't market the fact that they do. He thinks that's
a mistake because he hears from car buyers all the time who don't want animal
skin in their cars.
your brand already has something like this, come forward with this and say that
you have something sustainable. Every day people are messaging me that they
don't want leather seats any more. So please stop combining a high trim together
with animal skin equipment," he challenged car CEOs.
doesn't feel that he is extreme for what he asks, claiming that it is just
about empathy although people often misunderstand it. He said he'd rather sit
back, relax, and enjoy life. It would be easier to him, but when he sees such
cruelty involved with animal products, he thinks that the efforts that he does
is nothing in comparison to the suffering the animals endure. So, he said that
there are more important things and if he can have a little contribution to
make things better and save a couple of lives, then it is all worth it.
Ultimately,
Thomas concluded that switching to non-leather car interiors will be a win-win
situation for all. It will result in less suffering of animals, people, and the
overall planet.
encourages others to help spread the word so that more car CEOs can see the
challenge video. You can watch the Plant Based News
with Thomas and his original
to hear more of what this courageous and passionate journalist has to say. With
so many alternatives to the cruelly obtained animal skin interiors that cause
harm to the environment, why not make the switch to non-leather car interiors?

Kristína Peláková, známější pod uměleckými jmény Kristína a Kristina (* 20. srpna 1987 Svidník, Československo), je slovenská zpěvačka, která mimo jiné reprezentovala Slovensko na pěvecké soutěži Eurovision Song Contest 2010.

Kariéra

Začátky
Kristína Peláková už od malička zpívala, hrála na klavír a tancovala. Vystudovala košickou konzervatoř. Po setkání s producentem Martinem Kavuličem a vydavatelstvím H.o.M.E. production začala aktivně zpívat. První singl "Som tvoja" vyšel ve spolupráci s raperem Opakem, který je členem její oblíbené bratislavské skupiny A.M.O. na jaře 2007. Roku 2008 přezpívala píseň od Beáty Dubasové "Vráť mi tie hviezdy," díky čemuž se na Slovensku dostala do širšího povědomí. Píseň se stala jednou z nejúspěšnějších slovenských skladeb roku 2008.

… ešte váham
Dne 11. listopadu 2008 vydala své debutové album … ešte váham, které obsahuje 11 kompozic a dva remixy. Na album se nachází také píseň "Som tvoja", kterou natočila v roce 2006. Na desce se nacházejí jak multimediální stopy, tak i 3 videoklipy k singlům "Som tvoja", "Vráť mi tie hviezdy 08" a "Zmrzlina", ke kterému si přizvala českou zpěvačku Victoriu.

Eurovision Song Contest 2010
Slovenská zpěvačka se zúčastnila do pěvecké soutěže Eurovision Song Contest 2010 se skladbou "Horehronie". Autorem textu je Kamil Peteraj. Se skladbou zvítězila v pátém čtvrtfinále s počtem 36,7 % hlasů a také vyhrála první semifinále s počtem 31,2 %. Od poroty obdržela nejvyšší bodové hodnocení, a to 12 bodů. Dne 28. února 2010 se zúčastnila národního finále, kde nakonec získala stejný počet bodů jako druhá Mista se skladbou "Emotions", ale díky většímu počtu hlasů od diváků zvítězila a reprezentovala Slovensko na mezinárodní soutěži v Norsku, která se konala 25. až 29. května 2010.

V Oslu vystoupila 25. května 2010 v prvním semifinále, kde i přes to, že byla považována za jednu z favoritek, skončila až na 16. místě s 24 body, a proto nepostoupila do finále mezinárodní soutěže.

Na slnečnej strane světa
V roce 2011 nazpívala oficiální hymnu Mistrovství světa v ledním hokeji 2011 "Life is a game" s textem a hudbou Martina Kavuliče. Zprávy o připravovaném třetím albu se objevovaly už v polovině roku 2011. Dne 2. února 2012 měl premiéru její nový singl "Ovoňaj ma ako ružu", který byl předzvěstí nového alba zpěvačky. Pilotní singl z alba pod názvem "Jabĺčko" vyšel 10. dubna 2012 a umístil se na 13. místě ve slovenském éteru, skladba rotovala i v rádiích v České republice. Album oficiálně vyšlo 25. června 2012 a skládá se z 16 skladeb a třech bonusů v podobě remixů. S nahráváním se započalo v březnu 2011 a poslední úpravy byly dokončeny na konci května 2012. Nahrávání probíhal ve studiu v Košicích a Bratislavě.

Kristína pro server hudba.sk uvedla:

Třetím promo singlem z alba Na slnečnej strane sveta byla píseň "Viem lebo viem", která se nese ve stylu reggae. Kompozici znovu otextoval básník a textař Kamil Peteraj, hudbu složil skladatel a producent Martin Kavulič a dvě skladby vytvořil i jeho mladší bratr Marián Kavulič. Zpěvačka experimentuje s mnohými hudebními nástroji, na albu se objevil smyčcový orchestr, klasická i ústní harmonika, živý i elektronický cimbál a buzuki. Křest alba Na slnečnej strane světa se uskutečnil 27. července v pražském Bontonland Megastore a bylo pokřtěno zpěvákem Vašem Patejdlem. Slovenská zpěvačka si na akci převzala také platinovou desku za prodej předcházejícího alba V sieti ťa mám v České republice.

Tie naj
Deska "Na slnečnej strane sveta" debutovala na 4. místě na seznamu nejprodávanějších alb v České republice. Dne 25. října zpěvačka zahájila turné s titulem Horehronie Tour 2012. Za celý rok odzpívala celkem 107 koncertů v České republice a na Slovensku.

Dne 28. června byla jako další promo singl z Na slnečnej strane světa vybrána kompozice "Odpúšťam". Dne 5. srpna byl zveřejněn singl umělce Sqeepo s názvem "Flash", v němž jako host vystoupila právě Kristína. Píseň byla umístěna na desku Flash – EP, která byla prezentována 5. srpna 2013. Na albu se nachází také akustická verze písně "Flash".

Dne 26. srpna se uskutěčnila premiéra singlu "Rozchodový Reggaeton". Videoklip k singlu byl nahrán v České republice a Nizozemsku. Premiéra alba se uskutěčnila 22. října 2013 na stránkách Cas.sk. Po celý rok 2013 odprezentovala 117 koncertů v České republice a na Slovensku.

Dne 7. září měl premiéru videoklip k singlu "Navždy", který byl natočen v České republice a na Slovensko. Dne 3. listopadu mělo premiéru kompilační album Tie naj, které obsahovalo její největší hity z jejích prvních třech studiových alb. Album debutovalo na 33. místě v žebříčku bestsellerů v České republice.

Binh Thuan to build swimming pools for schools under BOT mode
VietNamNet Bridge – The BOT (build-operate-transfer) mode could be the solution for schools with tight budgets to build swimming pools to teach children how to swim.
The Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) has shown its determination to teach swimming to students as many drowning cases are reported every year. However, the biggest problem is the lack of pools, and money to build pools.
The Binh Thuan provincial education department seems to have found the solution to this problem by calling for private investment. Nguyen Van Linh School in Binh Thuan province, for example, has borrowed money from the Binh Thuan Books and School Equipment Company.
Each student at the school will have to pay VND100,000 a year for the swimming pool. With the collection, the school plans to pay back investment capital to the company within three years.
Some schools can join forces to build and share swimming pools, which will not serve business purposes, but only teaching.
With the pool development plan, swimming will become a subject at general schools in Binh Thuan province from the 2017-2018 academic year. Primary school students will have 12 lessons a year, while secondary and high school students will have 16 lessons.
According to Vo Van Khai from the Binh Thuan education department, all primary and secondary schools in the mountainous district of Tanh Linh have organized teaching of swimming with 16 fixed and 6 mobile swimming pools built with private capital.
In Phan Thiet City, eighth and ninth graders at the schools in the inner city must learn swimming as a compulsory subject, while swimming is an optional subject for sixth and seventh graders. All the students have to go to swimming pools developed by businesses or pools in resorts because schools don't have their own pools.
However, the plan to develop swimming pools under the BOT mode has not been welcomed by some parents.
Duong Hoang Dung, whose children are students at a primary and secondary schools in Tanh Linh district, said the children cannot swim well and they don't want to learn how to swim, but would rather play football or volleyball. Why does he have to pay for swimming lessons, he asked.
The Khanh Hoa provincial authorities plan to build two swimming pools in every district and town with money from the local budget. After the pools are built, estimated to cost VND5 billion, swimming will become a subject in the curriculum.
Swimming to become compulsory at school? Education Ministry says yes, parents no
Fewer than one-third of VN children can swim

Maunakea Observatories prepares for phased reopening
The Maunakea Observatories are resuming operations, after nearly two months of suspended nightly science observations. This action follows Governor Ige's 7th Supplementary Emergency Proclamation authorizing low-risk businesses to reopen, including the Observatories and support facilities.
The phased approach will restrict summit work to maximize social distancing and emphasize important hygiene practices. As always, the health and safety of our Observatory staff and the community is of paramount importance, and we will continue to follow all health guidelines from our state and local officials.
For detailed information on each observatory's status, check their individual websites.
Supporting Hawai'i through STEM distance learning
The Maunakea Observatories will continue offering its virtual education program, MKO@Home. The program delivers videos, live events, learning materials, and activities to benefit students, teachers, and families reliant on distance learning and outreach programs. Free tutorials, seminars and downloadable materials can still be accessed at:

Previous Update 31-Mar-2020
Maunakea Observatories Suspend Operations Due to COVID-19
The Maunakea Observatories have temporarily suspended telescope operations following Governor David Ige's stay-at-home order issued March 23, 2020, aimed at preventing the spread of COVID-19 in our community.
"The health and safety of our staff and community will always be our highest priority," said Dr. Doug Simons, director of Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. "As one of the islands' largest employers, we understand the necessity of doing whatever we can to stunt the spread of COVID-19. That's why our teams are staying home."
While scientific observations are on hold, the Maunakea Observatories have launched MKO@Home, an innovative public outreach effort for K-12 students and families, providing remote learning resources from the observatories' expert scientists and educators.
Recognizing the unprecedented need to convert in-person learning to a virtual environment, the Maunakea Observatories education and outreach teams are launching new pilot initiatives three times a week, designed to provide innovative multimedia STEM learning opportunities to students and families for the duration of the stay-at-home order and beyond. Videos are available on the Maunakea Astronomy Outreach Committee's YouTube channel.

Can you please advise me of any cycling maintenance courses that will teach beginners to strip and rebuild their bike and for general servicing?
Q: I've recently discovered the passion of cycling (in my later years; why didn't I get this 20 years ago!). Anyway, can you please advise me of any cycling maintenance courses that will teach beginners to strip and rebuild their bike and for general servicing? Is this possible around the York [UK] area?
A: We're not sure about courses in the York area in particular, David, but there are several places offering courses. Cyclewales.net are in North Wales and offer all sorts of courses, from one-day maintenance to 10-day City & Guilds qualifications. They're near Caernarfon, tel 01938 570680/07733 121585, www. cyclewales.net.
Park Tool School (tel 01296 468468, www.atg-cyclemechanics.co.uk) run more specialist courses in Leeds, or you could try PJCS (tel 07050 207369 www.pjcsonline.co.uk, who run courses for the cycling enthusiasts as well as for cycle shop mechanics. Edinburgh Bicycle Cooperative (tel 0845 257 0808, www.edinburghbicycle.com) also run bicycle maintenance courses at all their shops, one of which is in Leeds, and they also offer private tuition.


One of our readers recently asked if we could explain the difference between especially and specially.
My grandmother's ninetieth birthday was an occasion of especial joy.
My grandmother's ninetieth birthday was an occasion of special joy.
His train was running especially late that day.
We were especially happy to see you.
I put the cake especially high.
Specially is becoming more common but still tends to sound rather informal, even a little child-like ("I drew this picture specially for you!") There is a lot of debate around whether "specially" is appropriate in some cases, but if you want to be sure, stick with "especially".
So – I could think of especial as .. extra-special? even-more-special?
I just say more specialer. 🙂 Seriously, thanks for the post, I was actually just wondering that the other day.
So what do I say??
That's funny, I just looked this up last week, as I found myself using 'especially' quite a lot lately. I read 'especially' is much more common so I you're not sure I think that is what you should use. Right?
Vismay, in your sentence, "especially" is acting as an adjective to modify the verb want. See the last paragraph of my article above: I think you should use "especially" NOT "specially", but the latter is becoming more common.
Ali, thanks a lot. So that means I can use specially if want to sound informal, right?? Or with a person whom I know really well??
i disagree, with the original poster as well as with the comments. For brevity's sake, I'll leave off all the "" marks.
Specially is used to mean in a special way or for a particular purpose. This is not somehow less formal. To say, for example, "I baked this cake specially for you" is to say that I used a special recipe… maybe you are allergic to eggs, so my special method of preparing this cake eliminated the eggs.
Especially is used to indicate preeminence or noteworthiness. This is not more formal. To say, for example, "I baked this cake especially for you" is to indicate that this cake is primarily for you (although I probably don't mind if others try it), or that I was thinking of you specifically when I made it.
SWAT forces are specially trained police officers. This usage of specially indicates that they have training for a particular purpose.
Police offers are highly trained, especially SWAT forces. This usage of especially indicates that SWAT forces are trained above and beyond the rest of the police officers.
In addition, adjectives modify nouns. These two, specially and especially, are adverbs.
• I have an especial interest in photography.
• I have a special interest in photography: I like black and white photos of circus animals.
In this case, it is the interest itself that is specialized. There is not necessarily the implication that I am more interested in B&W circus animals than other subject matter, only that I consider that interest unique enough to be worth mentioning.
For the adverbial forms (specially and especially), ri, above, has some good examples. Again, especially implies that the intentions of the subject are special, and specially implies that the actions themselves were special.
• This cake is specially baked especially for you.
In this sentence, 'specially' refers to the manner in which it was baked (i.e., a special technique), while 'especially' refers to the intentions of the baker.
thank you very much for this post! so helpful.
easy to read, easy to understand and i can continue on my writing.
This is a GREAT site. You have helped me solve the specially-especially puzzle so well! So clearly! Right down to the last detail that I needed!
Hi There, Ali and everyone.
I only just realized all of these was posted about four months ago.
Anyway, I just wanted to express my gratitude for all the information shared here and in a such a clear and direct way, that even when you disagree you just go respectfully straight to the point.
I solved all my very specific doubts.
Thank you all guys for that. Really.
leading to the temptation of spelling it with an X. It's about time I got fed up and decided to get this planted in my brain the correct way! Sites like these are among the best uses of the internet.
I was always thought in school that specially is the proper word and that especially was grammatically incorrect, but used nevertheless to express emphasis.
I think Bandur's explanation is quite clear. I think I have a better understanding of these two words now. – 'Especially' refers to the intention of the subject; 'specially' refers to the 'manner'. I hope I won't get confused anymore. "This cake is specially baked especially baked for you" will always in my mind 🙂 Thanks Bandur!!
Thank you. This is special.
i just find them similar.. it makes confuse even more!!
-His train was running especially late that day.
-We were especially happy to see you.
-I put the cake especially high.
The container was not "more designed" than others. It was designed for a special purpose.
Then I would certainly use especially.
-This building is not especially tall.
-This building was not specially designed.
I was trying to figure out how to word a comment on another website. Here is part comment and my dilemma = "Also the combat in the Manga is a lot bloodier, [especially] or [specially] during the middle of the second half of the series." I figured it out (went with especially) Thanks to the original poster and everyone who debated or added with informative comments.
Oh I'd like to say something about English/writing forums or sites. I find it amusing how pretentious everyone sounds when they disagree on a particular topic. I know no one is trying to be pretentious, Hell I may be coming off as pretentious right now. I just find it amusing. The thing I dislike is when people feel the need to insult someone who doesn't use the proper syntax, misuse of a word, or a spelling error. I know that this and others like it are about proper English and I can see why they would point it out. However there is no need to insult the person. On sites like youtube or facebook there is no purpose for that behavior. We are on the internet not in class. So unless the person making said error is writing an article just let them be.
Sorry for veering off topic, I just felt the need to put that out there for some reason. Maybe I felt that way because I was just on youtube and the trolls were irritating me. I refuse to feed the trolls, so you all had to suffer my complaining. I already typed it so I might as well post it. Again I apologize.
Sean in your case I'd go with especially. Although this comment is probably too late.
I've got a problem myself as well.
My friend commented on something saying only "Specially for you". Underneath it became some sort of trollbattle using Especially or Specially for you.
Now I'm confused. Anyone knows which was right one?
Sabine – the orignal comment 'specially' is the correct one.
There is one major point on which I disagree with the orignal post, you should absolutely NOT just stick in especially as default.
Especially means beyond the norm, and if everything was beyond the norm then it would simply be the norm! Specially is not 'less sophisticated' or 'childlike' it's simply different and more useful, hence it's more common usage. Afterall, we do more things for a specific purpose than we do things that are exceptional!
Just thought I'd clear one thing up. Specially and Especially are not adjectives! They are adverbs. I don't see why we just don't get rid of specially and use the adverb especially while using only special as an adjective and be done with it.
Thanks for simplifying it Neckonoms.
You may be sick and tired of this topic but I just found this thread and have a question. First of all I am not an English speaker, so excuse me if I make some mistake.
The thing is I studied "special" education and I can understand that the correct adjective here is "special" because the teaching is intrinsecally specific, specialized for disabled.
But, couldn't I use "especial education" if I considered that this education is above the other ways of teaching because it goes further than the rest?
Maybe I am just messing things up, but I was just wandering in which contexts would it be right to use "especial education". If any.
