(1/4) Funny story. We got pulled into the world of #vaccine misinformation today.

We've been selling some of the compounds found in the #COVID19 vaccines for a few months now. Since we don't manufacture them under the same GMP conditions as...
(2/4)...the companies that make the #vaccines, we only sell them as 'research use only'. Someone proof-texted that to mean they weren't safe for humans and edited a #Wikipedia page citing our website as a source 😠
(3/4) To clarify and educate, 'research use only' (RUO) doesn't mean that a compound or reagent isn't safe for use in humans. It is simply a limit on how it can be used based on the source and manufacturing processes...
(4/4) ...and also licensing/capital/profit -- because we didn't invent those compounds. We sell them to other smart #scientists that are looking for novel ways they can be used to potentially help people
