Just A Coincidence, I'm Sure

So you know how so many media talking heads are saying that HCQ is "not effective" and all that jazz. Well look at what dropped into my reading list today:
(Bloomberg) -- Shares of Eastman Kodak Co. have leapt 2,441% higher this week, sending its market valuation to nearly $2 billion, after it won a government loan to help produce ingredients used in key generic medicines to fight the coronavirus.
"Generic medicines" that do what? "Fight the coronavirus"? Really? Why would investors spend sooooo much money buying into a company that produces "ingredients used in key generic medicines to fight the coronavirus" if those "key ingredients" didn't, you know, work? Say, What exactly are those "ingredients used in key generic medicines"?
Kodak shares tripled on Tuesday on news of a $765 million loan to shift part of its factories to produce drug ingredients. The development bank loan was the first of its kind under the Defense Production Act in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Defense, and intended to speed production of drugs in short supply and those considered critical to treat Covid-19, including hydroxychloroquine, the controversial antimalarial drug touted by President Donald Trump.
What? Including WHAT?

Oh.

Now of course Bloomberg is saying how HCQ is "not effective" and quoting Dr. "Masks are not effective today but are effective, now, but I take mine off at will, but you can't" Fauci. So either the Defense department risked a whole lot of money, and investors risked a whole lot of money on something they "know" is "not effective" or THEY know something is effective and YOU are being told otherwise for reasons other than YOUR health.
