If this is true, Holy crap!

…in a development that could transform how viral infections are treated, a team of researchers at MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory has designed a drug that can identify cells that have been infected by any type of virus, then kill those cells to terminate the infection.

The drug targets the double-stranded RNA produced by the infected cell not the virus itself. If the virus "adapts" it will no longer be able to infect the cell.

The main issue with this breakthrough is that it seems to be based on a single trial and was released to a somewhat dodgy journal.

Unless the cancer is spread from person to person, how would it develop a resistance within the population (as opposed to the odd person for whom it is ineffective)?
