Contrary to earlier reporting, the FDA has approved COVID-19 vaccines - from Pfizer, Moderna and Novavax - but with restrictions.

Eligibility:
65+: Yes
Others: At least one high-risk health condition, such as asthma or obesity (+ others)
Children under 5: Not eligible for Pfizer

Moderna's Spikevax vaccine is only approved for children with at least one serious health problem.

It's better than an outright ban, but still based on ideology and pseudo-science.
