继建议注射消毒液后（戳这里回顾），美国总统特朗普又给出了一个新冠肺炎“治疗方案”。这回他“带货”的则是一种抗疟疾药物……

据CNN报道，当地时间5月18日，特朗普在白宫会见餐饮业主管时表示，他目前正在服用抗疟疾药物羟氯喹(hydroxychloroquine)，目的是为了预防感染新冠病毒。

特朗普称，“几周前，我开始服用（羟氯喹）。” 之后又称一周半前开始每天服用。
"A couple of weeks ago, I started taking it," Trump said. He later said he'd been taking it every day for a week and a half.



“我正好也在服用这个药”，特朗普告诉记者。“已经有很多好事发生了。你会惊讶地发现其实有很多人都在服用它，尤其是一线工作者。在你认识它之前，很多一线工作人员都在服用它。”
I happen to be taking it. A lot of good things have come out. You’d be surprised at how many people are taking it, especially the front-line workers. Before you catch it. The front-line workers, many, many are taking it.



当有记者问是否是白宫医生建议他这样做时，特朗普予以了否认。

Asked if the White House doctor recommended he begin taking hydroxychloroquine, Trump demurred.

“我问他（白宫医生）你觉得（服用羟氯喹）怎么样，他说，‘好吧，如果你愿意的话’”。
"I asked him what do you think, he said, 'Well if you'd like it,' " the President told reporters.

特朗普还说，他并未接触到新冠病毒，之所以开始服用这种药物是因为他从一线工作人员那里得知，他们服用这种药物来预防新冠。

Trump said he hadn't been exposed, and that he started taking the drug because he had heard from frontline responders who sent him letters saying they were taking it preventatively.

“这些是我的证据：我收到了很多关于这件事（服用羟氯喹来预防新冠）的正面评价。”
"Here's my evidence: I get a lot of positive calls about it," Trump said.

不过，特朗普也表示，他并不知道羟氯喹在预防新冠上是否有效，但“就算它没起什么作用，你也不会生病，也不会死。”
While Trump admitted he doesn't know if the drug works, he claimed "if it doesn't, you're not going to get sick and die."




然而，据CNN报道，美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）曾警告，除了在医院或临床试验，不要用羟氯喹或氯喹治疗新冠肺炎，因为可能会产生严重的副作用甚至导致死亡。这其中包括可能导致新冠肺炎患者心律失常，尤其是当与抗生素阿奇霉素或其他对心脏产生影响的药物一同服用时。


 
The FDA has warned against the use of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine to treat the novel coronavirus and said they should only be used in hospitals or clinical trials because they can kill or cause serious side effects. These include serious heart rhythm problems in Covid-19 patients treated with the drugs, especially when they are combined with the antibiotic azithromycin or other medications that can affect the heart.
