當地時間23日的白宮記者會上,美國國土安全部官員表示,據最新研究結果,新冠病毒在強光高溫條件下,存活率會大幅降低;部分消毒液成分對殺死新冠病毒有較明顯效果。
隨後,美國總統特朗普抓住其中“重點”,提出了一些“驚人”的治療建議,其中包括注射消毒液殺病毒↓↓↓
他說:“我注意到消毒液在一分鐘內就消滅病毒,僅用一分鐘。有沒有辦法給身體內注射消毒液,讓它進入肺部清潔,這種方法應該值得一試。”
"And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that. ”
他還當場讓白宮疫情應對協調員Deborah Birx博士向醫生諮詢:“你會讓醫生去測試一下這種方法,對吧 ?對我來說,這聽起來很有趣。”
So, that, you’re going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds, it sounds interesting to me.
一向十分附和特朗普的Deborah Birx博士表情是這樣的:
不出意料,特朗普此番言論一出,立刻引起輿論譁然。
據美國全國廣播公司(NBC)報道,包括肺臟學家、全球健康政策專家Vin Gupta博士在內的多位醫療專家,對特朗普這一“不合適的健康信息”提出了質疑。
Medical professionals, including Dr. Vin Gupta, a pulmonologist, global health policy expert, were quick to challenge the president's "improper health messaging."

Gupta博士指出,注射或喝下任何清潔消毒產品的想法是不負責任且危險的,這是人們自殺時常用手段之一。
“This notion of injecting or ingesting any type of cleansing product into the body is irresponsible and it’s dangerous," said Gupta. "It’s a common method that people utilize when they want to kill themselves."
特朗普提出的“新療法”,不光讓醫療衛生專家感到憤怒緊張,也讓家庭消毒劑製造商們慌了神。

家用消毒劑生產商利潔時公司在聲明中提醒消費者,不管在何種情況下,都不要將該公司產品通過注射、口服或其他方式攝入體內。
"As a global leader in health and hygiene products, we must be clear that under no circumstance should our disinfectant products be administered into the human body (through injection, ingestion or any other route)," a spokesperson for Reckitt Benckiser, the United Kingdom-based owner of Lysol, said in a statement to NBC News.
特朗普改口:注射消毒液是為諷刺記者
24日,特朗普在白宮回應記者提問時改口稱,前一天有關“注射消毒液治新冠肺炎”的講話只是表達諷刺,並不是要推薦美國人注射消毒液,“我不是醫生,人們應該諮詢醫生。”

“我當時就是諷刺地問一問像你這樣的記者,就想看看你們怎麼辦,”特朗普24日稱。“我當時對在場的記者提了一個關於體內消毒的非常諷刺的問題。不過消毒液確實能消毒,能給手消毒,這很方便。”
"I was asking a question sarcastically to reporters just like you, just to see what would happen," Trump said on Friday. "I was asking a sarcastic and a very sarcastic question to the reporters in the room about disinfectant on the inside. But it does kill it and it would kill it on the hands, and it would make things much better."
前世衛組織官員高斯廷說,特朗普之前推薦抗瘧疾的藥物來治療新冠肺炎,國家衛生研究所已經表示那是有害的,現在特朗普又提出紫外線照射、注射消毒液等如此危險的建議。
從科學常識來看,那是很危險的。如果大肆宣揚一些有風險的言論,民眾有可能會為此付出生命代價。
民眾誤用化學品求助電話大增
《紐約時報》稱,總統在週四發表評論後,網上對清潔產品的搜索量激增,包括洗衣液。
當地時間25日,美國伊利諾伊州公共衛生部門負責人埃奇克表示,過去兩天,該州有毒物質控制中心接到關於誤服消毒劑的諮詢電話大幅上升,例如有人用洗滌劑溶液沖洗鼻腔,還有人混合漂白劑和漱口水用來漱口。埃奇克警告民眾:“注射、攝入和吸食家用清潔劑是危險的,這樣做可能致命。”
當地時間25日,據美國公共廣播電臺(NPR)報道,紐約市毒物控制局接到接觸某些家用化學品的求助電話較去年同期多了一倍。數據顯示,在特朗普發表言論後18小時內,紐約市接到了30通相關電話,其中9例關於消毒劑,10例關於漂白劑,11例為其他家用清潔劑。在去年同一個窗口期,該中心僅接到13例電話,其中2起關於漂白劑,但沒有一例與相關消毒劑有關。
The city's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene said that in an 18-hour period ending at 3 p.m. Friday, the poison control center recorded 30 cases. These included nine "specifically about exposure to Lysol, 10 cases specifically about bleach and 11 cases about exposures to other household cleaners," department spokesperson Pedro F. Frisneda tells NPR. That compares to only 13 cases for the same time frame one year ago.
彭博社:特朗普又一次超越了自己
特朗普的評論令人驚詫,以至於他自己任命的公共衛生官員都感到有必要警告美國人不要真的當回事。美國公共衛生服務署署長傑羅姆·亞當斯在社交媒體上稱,“提醒所有的美國人,請在採取任何療法之前諮詢醫務人員。”
彭博社專欄作家約翰森·伯恩斯坦則不無諷刺地寫道,特朗普又一次超越了自己。
總統特朗普在週四新聞發佈會上,超越了自己。他一通胡言亂語說著新冠神奇療法,最後建議向體內注射消毒劑。(聲明:別在家這麼幹,真的,別這麼幹。)
President Donald Trump outdid himself in Thursday’s press conference with an extended riff on miracle cures for the coronavirus that ended with a suggestion that maybe injecting disinfectant into the body would do the trick. (Disclaimer: Do not try this at home. No, really.)
約翰森指出,關於消毒液的主意,不僅僅是一句蠢話,更體現出就算在疫情響應最基本的問題上,特朗普都缺乏認知。
這是個非常基本的問題。而特朗普混亂的回答凸顯出他到底有多遊離世外,他到現在仍然沒有任何現實的防控和復甦經濟的計劃。
That's a pretty basic question. And Trump’s confused answer underlines the extent to which he is still, even now, disengaged from any real planning to control the pandemic and revive the economy.
