Any virus can be treated with high dose intravenous vitamin C. It is a matter of chemistry. A chemical reaction between the outer lipid layer of viruses and ascorbic acid.
There are several lipid-enveloped viruses. Many viruses evolved from exosomes (that transport RNA between cells) and assemble and bud directly from the host cell plasma inner membrane. But if you target that hulls too aggressively, you target the hulls of cells too.
One can safely take up to 100 grams of vitamin C intravenously as fast as it can flow out of the needle in one sitting. That high of dose would require taper off doses over the next two days though. The theoretical fatal dose would be over 350 grams however your body processes it very fast so it would be very hard to do according to Linus Pauling.
That's why I believe that vitamin C doesn't harm viruses directly - it's not aggressive and virus hulls are too similar to the hulls of our cells. Vitamin C helps our immune system to fight viruses (and the immune system has a ton of friend-foe detection mechanisms).
