EDWARDSVILLE — The public expressed concerns Tuesday night to the Madison County Health Advisory Committee about the CDC’s recommendation to place the COVID shot on the childhood immunization schedule. Six public speakers voiced their concerns about the Center for Disease Control’s plan and wanted officials to know they are against it. Amy Santarelli of Collinsville said there is risk either way — getting the vaccine or getting COVID. “Most people want to choose their own risk,” Santerelli said. “Don’t put our children at risk, let the families make the decision for them.” Richard Quayle of Highland said he is a retired pharmacist with 50 years of experience and spent more than 3,000 hours studying COVID. “We were told when the vaccines first came out ‘if you get this vaccine, you’ll not catch the virus.’,” Quayle said. “That was false.” Quayle said people were told if they got the

He contributes not only on the offense but also on the defensive side of the ball. He's one of the team's leading DBs. He recorded a single tackle on Saturday against the Hilltoppers. When asked what his favorite thing about the
