Therapeutics refers to their use for treatment and therapy, but if they are being used to prevent disease, then they are not therapeutics but prophylactics.
Vaccine means a substance that is used to trigger an immunological response, but I don't think either IVer or HCQ do this exactly. Rather, they maintain a set of conditions that do not allow the disease in question to arise?
Just a quibble on this.

Prophylactics for before the illness, therapeutics for after...is good
Yep. That's what I understand, anyway
