Other potential treatments being explored include the use of a hydrogen peroxide-like spray in the lungs of intubated patients. These low-cost alternatives are reportedly being ignored by the medical establishment in favor of more profitable vaccine development.

While energy production requires low-purity U-235, weapons-grade material requires high purity achieved through long cascades in series. The focus on a specific number of centrifuges (e.g., 5,000) is viewed by some as an obfuscation of the actual enrichment capabilities being negotiated.
