Not really, but I live in the Netherlands :p . Not as much drug stigma here.

Hadn't heard of it yet, so I looked it up. Not sure how tasty it'd be but it contains spike proteins that the virus particles attack, so the idea behind it is sound. It'd almost certainly make your drool less viral, but not sure if it would work with sneeze/cough particles as well because I don't know if you have those in the gum zone before the sneeze/cough itself.
Because it's just a protein it'd probably easier to make than complicated actual medication though, you could make it fairly widely available. But it would probably not protect yourself significantly, it'd only stop transmission from you to others. In which case you're supposed to stay at home anyway, so I'm not sure how much value it would add, really.

Per University of Florida,
--- Quote ---New research this week finds that people hospitalized with severe covid-19 often pay a heavy price afterward. The study concluded that these survivors were more than twice as likely to die in the subsequent 12 months compared to people who had tested negative for the virus. This relatively increased risk of death was even higher for people under the age 65. While there remains much research to be done, studies thus far have made it clear that many covid-19 survivors can experience lingering symptoms even after the infection itself has cleared up. And those who are hospitalized are all the more vulnerable to these aftereffects. Severe covid often seriously damages the lungs and other organs, while life-saving interventions like steroids, ventilators, and life support devices like ECMO can take a toll on the body as well.

Anyone going to I.C.U. has a higher risk of death in the following 12 months, your body took a beating but it's way worse for Covid.
