National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci on Wednesday became the first Trump administration official to say definitively that hydroxychloroquine is not an effective treatment for the coronavirus, based on the available data.

週三，美國國家過敏症和傳染病研究所(National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases)所長安東尼·福奇(Anthony Fauci)成為第一個明確表示，根據現有數據，羥氯喹不是一種有效的冠狀病毒治療藥物的特朗普政府官員。

"The scientific data is really quite evident now about the lack of efficacy," Fauci — the U.S. government's top infectious disease expert — said on CNN.

美國政府首席傳染病專家福奇在接受美國有線電視新聞網採訪時表示:“有關疫苗缺乏功效的科學數據已經非常明顯了。”

But he stopped short of calling for an outright ban of the drug, which President Trump said he was taking last week as a preventative measure after a top White House aide was diagnosed with the coronavirus.

但他沒有呼籲徹底禁止這種藥物，特朗普總統表示，在一名白宮高級助手被診斷出感染了冠狀病毒後，他上週採取了預防措施。

Fauci's comments come days after the Lancet published a 96,000-patient observational study that concluded that hydroxychloroquine had no effect on Covid-19 and may have even caused some harm.

就在福奇發表上述言論的幾天前，《柳葉刀》雜誌發表了一項針對9.6萬名患者的觀察性研究，該研究得出結論，羥基氯喹對Covid-19沒有效果，甚至可能造成了一些傷害。

France decided this week to ban the use of hydroxychloroquine, even in clinical trials, and the WHO has paused its clinical trials of the drug.

本週，法國決定禁止使用羥基氯喹，甚至在臨床試驗中也不允許使用，而世界衛生組織也暫停了該藥物的臨床試驗。

There is no data yet from randomized, controlled clinical trials of hydroxychloroquine — the gold standard for evaluating potential treatments. But Fauci was unequivocal on Wednesday, saying that "the data are clear right now."

目前還沒有關於羥氯喹的隨機對照臨床試驗的數據，羥氯喹是評估潛在治療方法的金標準。但福奇週三明確表示，"目前的數據很清楚。"
