Antibiotic equivalent for viruses potential

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DRACO

DRACO (Double-stranded RNA Activated Caspase Oligomerizer) was a promising, broad-spectrum antiviral protein developed by Dr. Todd Rider at MIT, designed to kill virus-infected cells by triggering self-destruction (apoptosis) when it detects viral double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), a virus replication hallmark. It showed success in lab tests against many viruses (like flu, Ebola, cold) and even protected mice from lethal influenza, but funding issues halted the original research, though the technology inspires newer efforts like VTose by Kimer Med
