Views of the News: Pfizer Vaccine Wins FDA Approval; Fox News Pushes Alternative Treatment

The FDA has approved the Pfizer vaccine use for people over the age of 16, without the emergency use authorization.

And, why are some outlets pushing alternative treatments not approved for human use at all? Also, an update on evacuating journalists from Afghanistan, changes to the Sunday editions of the Kansas City Star and journalism’s role in finding the next host of Jeopardy!
