Plenty of funds will loan their stock for short selling, that's very different to the fund themselves shorting the stock(it would make zero sense to short the stock when you hold, why wouldn't you just sell the stock you hold). People get really worried about shorters but the reality is they only make money if they target an overvalued stock, if they were to target a stock like SDV at the wrong time, they'd just get run over by the bulls and end up having to cover at a higher price than they sold short, thus losing money.
Shorting is an integral part of markets, without them the bubbles would be much bigger and so would the crashes. Really, retail investors should be happy to have shorters there, they save them from buying at even more ridiculous highs than they already do and in market crashes like we just had in March, they act as a natural brake as they are the main buyers in the market during big crash events
