    This sounds promising, already in Phase 1 clinical trials.

    “Researchers at City of Hope, one of the largest cancer research and treatment organizations in the United States, have published a new study explaining how they took a protein once thought to be too challenging for targeted therapy, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), and developed a targeted chemotherapy that appears to annihilate all solid tumors in preclinical research.”

    A new type of (siRNA) treatment that doesn’t involve the immune system, so more a drug than a vaccine.

    ”The publication shows that siRNA treatment reduces virus levels up to 99.9% for all variants of concern, and is more potent than Sotrovimab and Remdesivir.

    "siRNA can stop SARS-CoV-2 replication by directly targeting the virus itself, which means there is no immune system involvement, so a recipient doesn't need a functioning immune system for the treatment to work. This will make siRNA a really important treatment option for people with impaired immunity," Ahlenstiel says.”

    I don't think I'd like that at all, most of us don't even want to die once much less come back and do it again.
