How to use first of all in a sentence?

1. Pete Ricketts:

   First of all, we have been encouraging people to get vaccinated. We’ve been providing information and encouraging people to reach out to their neighbors because vaccines work and they will help people, but it should be a personal health care choice. This is not something that the government should mandate and somebody shouldn’t have to make the choice between keeping their job and getting a jab in the arm. I mean, it’s just wrong.

2. Tony Blinken:

   I don't think that's a concession. I think first of all it's a reflection of reality that even before this aggression by Russia, Ukraine was not going to get into NATO tomorrow. All the more reason why as we've seen when Vladimir Putin was saying that their concerns about Ukraine centered on its admission to NATO, that was wrong. That was a lie.

3. Daniil Medvedev:

   First of all I can say thank you to all you guys because your energy tonight gave me the win, if you were not here I would probably lose the match because I was so tired, I was cramping yesterday and it was hard for me to play.

4. Gregg Berhalter:

   Now it obviously does n’t look like the best choice, but I think we have to wait until Thursday, if we would have played the same players from the last game — first of all, two of them were n’t even here, so that was going to be impossible — but if we would have played the same players in this game, I ’m not sure we would position ourselves in the best way to win again on Wednesday. Again, the conditions that we’re dealing with here, with the travel, with the weather, made it complicated. And we had to make I guess a somewhat risky decision. And the good thing is, we’re still in second place.

5. Steven McCraw:

   First of all, there's no cover-up. And the bottom line is as soon as we can, we'll release everything.
