Detailed Analysis:
  • Claim:** "New restrictions on Covid shots run counter to scientific evidence, the groups said."
    • Verification Source #1: Supports the idea that organizations are concerned about actions that "create confusion around proven vaccines" and endanger health.
    • Verification Source #5: Supports the idea that experts are alarmed by changes to vaccine guidance.
  • This claim is supported by the sources, but the specific nature of the "new restrictions" and the extent to which they "run counter to scientific evidence" is not detailed in the provided sources, requiring some reliance on internal knowledge (that such debates exist).
Supporting Evidence/Contradictions:
