Nobody is going to get rich off a generic drug. But they will over some new expensive drug.

Or a vaccine.

Absolutely true. Many mutual funds have relatively high turnovers in their holdings, which are bought and sold for a variety of reasons. Many funds often buy and sell soley for “window dressing” purposes. For those reasons ownership of mutual funds has never been problematic for me in terms of conflict of interest disclosures.

Just because a fund has a large investment in a particular company this stake can change or be disposed of at any time.

A drug that is cheap and works. We all have stake in it.

I don’t think the Dims want to start talking about conflicts of interest.

And Joe Manchin’s daughter is CEO of Mylar. Milan has begun to produce hydroxychloroquine.
So which individual benefits?

It has been on the market for 70 years.
I kind of think the patents on it expired a long time ago.

The medical evidence keeps piling up that, whether down the road something might prove better than Hydroxychloroquine, it is saving some lives right now. Yet, instead of focusing the public’s attention on that fact, so many in the media try to slander the drug by any means they can.

Sanofi is but one maker of the drug.

The idea the slander piece promotes is that one day Trump woke up, checked what his investment holdings were, saw it included Sanofi, saw they make Hydroxychloroquine and decided, as president, to promote the drug, FOR THAT REASON.

The idea is ludicrous. BUT, having created so much hate, the media knows many of their sheeple will believe it.

A trust owns a mutual fund which owns a stock in a large company who makes a generic drug.

That dillution is getting down to a homeopathic level of investment.

The left taking advantage of the fact that their rank and file voter has no idea how a mutual fund works to make a sinister headline.

The New York Times reported Monday.

This will be a major if not the lead story on CNN (Chicom News Network)

"That’s so attenuated that you could allege conflicts of interest for 90% of people who have any investment or retirement savings."

Not only that, most of the very same mutual funds probably also have stock in the very competitors of Sanofi. Gilead is probably not (at a pure financial level) rooting for HQL, but probably half the funds that own Sanofi (SNY) also own Gilead (GILD)

So this is all silly. You're right 90% of democrats with any mutual funds, meaning 100% of the fake news readers, are in this group.

The insanity continues on the left! They are trying everything to divide this country when it should be working together. I am praying that the majority of the American people see right through this!

Including politician pensions, union pensions (factory workers, construction workers, teachers)...

by telling only a sliver of the story

Indeed. There's a huge difference between facts and the truth. At the elementary school that was run by my church, the head of the school association happened to not be a member of our particular church. As a result, he was not permitted to vote on anything that required one.

At one meeting, a vote came up on something that passed by acclamation. I pointed out (light-heartedly) for the record that the president of the school association did not vote in favor of the motion. That was a fact. The fact that, even though he supported the motion entirely, he was not permitted to vote on the matter.

That was the truth.

They’re too slimy for that. They’d just look incredulous and say ‘You mean to tell us that you sold out the American public and let people die for $50??!! Get a rope!”

So no Democrats own mutual funds with investments in pharma companies that their voting decisions have benefitted? And no one at Huffington Puffington owns mutual funds with investments their stories could have influenced?
