You're assuming the only way to make money is a straight sales Vs costs of production. As stock markets are shall we say, speculative, there's the possibility for some who make the right decisions (wink wink) at the right time (obviously by chance) to make money on both hyped up sales of an inferior product short term and a quality product longer term. These aren't mutually exclusive.
I should point out I don't believe this is actually happening - I merely objected of scepticism of "they would say that, wouldn't they" as a prospective response. These are the reasons scientific evidence gets continually peer reviewed and rebutted.

I do welcome this and as I've said before if offered a vaccine I'd take it.
The most at risk person closest to me should get theirs next month and it'll be a huge sigh of relief from me and I hope the vaccines hold up against new strains. It doesn't mean I'll be blindly optimistic though. If I've learned anything in this pandemic it's that blind optimism is extremely flawed and liable to end in disappointment.
