I have no idea at all about vaccines, healthcare or bio chem so please correct me but. ..

The first 2 are the RNA right?

Sodium and potassium chloride are standard in table salt and saline drips right?

Sucrose and cholesterol occur naturally in humans I think (sucrose comes from breaking down fructose?).

Potassium dihydrogen phosphate is harder. No real idea what that is, but apparently they put it in gatorade?

Disodium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate is (I think) also used in food (condensed milk) and water softeners!

Anyone know what 1,2-Distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is? Or

I'm sort of impressed it doesn't have 1001 complex chemicals.
