Hi.
That may be true of some people, I agree, but for many others, behind a bit of bravado and harshness, their intentions about vetting sources and harm reduction are sincere.
It is for everyone's benefit, after all.
So, it may come across as a bit excessive and a pita, to some, but all the questioning of sources, the proof and testing required must occur.
I don't think anyone is necessarily prejudiced against a vendor, per se, they just have to comply.
Asking for proof of safe and sterile premises/lab from a vendor should be part of the minimum required, really, don't you think?
If they don't want to /cannot do so, they are free to leave.
But if they stay, they have to meet expectations.
True, all of it, dear.
Meso is not perfect, but it’s up to members to keep things in check and try to enforce certain standards.
Yes, there are and have been problems with various sources, but they have always been challenged about those issues and members have pushed for resolution and proof thereof (sometimes, not enough people helping with that, you are right).
Some of those issues have been addressed, some are still ongoing.
You are correct pointing this out.
Still, in this particular instance, this guy couldn't satisfy some basic requirements.
Furthermore, I now read here that people who ordered from him have not received their orders or a lot of the items were missing.
He hasn't proved himself to be reliable here, nor somewhere else, so
Was right, in the end.
