“…Gene-silencing utilises RNA - fundamental building blocks in the body, similar to DNA - to attack the virus.

Modified RNA was also used to develop the Pfizer and Moderna Covid vaccines, shown to be up to 96 per cent effective at blocking the disease.

The new therapy has been designed for people who are already severely ill with Covid, for whom the vaccines are too late….

… ‘Essentially, it’s a seek-and-destroy mission,’ he said. ‘We can specifically destroy the virus that grows in someone’s lungs.’…”

Probably what is called anti-sense oligonucleotides. It binds to a particular part of viral genome (specifically the nucleotide sequence) and inhibits the viral instructions from being read by virus assembling mechanism. Early idea for controlling cancer. If the nucleotide sequence binds to human nucleotide sequences it could interfere with human DNA information processing there also.
Look it up for much better explanation. Freegards.
