I think you might be leaping outside your area of expertise.  :)

Radiation therapy is much studied, especially re cancer treatments.
The big problem is that viruses are really tiny, far smaller than the
cells that they infect.
Viruses are sub-microscopic. That's how they can drift about in the
air and spread infection.
Cancer radiation therapy targets destroying cancer cells.
You can't target viruses because they are inside cells, throughout the
human body.

But research is still worth doing, if they can get funding.
