There is a very sinister anti-vaxx rumor apparently spreading that the SM-102 Moderna lipid in their #mRNA vaccine is unsafe for humans. The "evidence" is a safety data sheet=SDS from a company selling SM-102 for research. However, page 3 of SDS shows it is 90% chloroform!/1

So in short, the anti-vaxxers have taken a SDS for a chloroform mixture and use that to scare people to think that something is wrong with SM-102. Bollocks! And chemo-phobia to boot. Bottom line is, Moderna uses pure SM-102 - no chloroform involved in the vaccine./2
