Claim 3: “Following a memo from the Department of Health and Human Services, the CDC updated its vaccine schedule”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim that the CDC updated its vaccine schedule following an HHS memo is explicitly stated by The Atlantic. However, The Guardian explicitly contradicts this, stating that CDC recommendations 'remain the same.' Because the authoritative CDC and HHS Wikipedia pages provide general info but not this specific event, and the news sources conflict, it cannot be corroborated.

VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While evidence mentions the Fed reducing rates to 3.50%-3.75% and other movements of 75 basis points, there is no single source confirming the specific trajectory of a cut from 4.5% to 3.75% over the past year as a single cohesive fact.
