Roberto Burioni Biography

Roberto Burioni is one of the most popular and richest Virologist who was born on December 10, 1962 in Pesaro, Marche, Italy. Roberto Burioni, a doctor from Italy, was born 10 December 1962. He is Professor of Microbiology at Vita-Salute San Raffaele University in Milan. His lab develops monoclonal antibodies that protect humans against infectious agents. He also studies the interplay between pathogens and hosts and uses molecular tools to diagnose infectious diseases early. Burioni is known for his opposition to antivaccination and was called the “most well-known virologist” in Italy.

Burioni and several other colleagues created Medical Facts in 2018. The site’s articles are written by doctors, medical scientists and other health professionals. They aim to promote news and advice about a variety of health issues.

In early February 2020, Burioni noted that the coronavirus was far more dangerous than the common flu and that due to its highly contagious nature, it was important not to underestimate it, but rather deal with it decisively. He further noted the importance of diagnosing cases as quickly as possible and isolating people who were or might get infected. This position led to Burioni being accused of being a fascist and a supporter of the League, a far-right political party. Later the same month, Burioni again emphasised the importance of self-isolation and avoiding crowded places, noting that Italy had so far been unable to limit the rapid spread of the virus. Burioni has backed the measures taken by the Italian government to halt the spread of COVID-19, calling it an “indispensable measure”. Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, Burioni released his latest book, Virus. La grande sfida (Virus. The Great Challenge) in March 2020, several months earlier than originally planned. He received criticism on social media for doing this but responded saying that books on the epidemic were needed now in order to help people understand what was happening. In response to the Italian government’s plans to relax lockdown measures from May 4, Burioni said that anyone leaving their homes should be required to wear a mask and have some form of contact tracing. He further suggested that anyone found to have the virus should be isolated at a hotel or other facility rather than their home, warning that without these measures the virus could spread anew, resulting in having to start the lockdown all over again.

He authored “Il vacino non e un’opinione : Le vaccinazioni non le vuole capitaire” in 2017. This book won the 2017 Premio Asimov (“The vaccine isn’t an opinion: Vaccinations explained to those who don’t want to understand them”), which was awarded the Gran Sasso Science Institute of L’Aquila’s annual Asimov Award. It recognizes books of science dissemination that were published in Italy during the preceding year.

Burioni, an active anti-vaccination campaigner, gained fame in Italy following an appearance on Rai 2’s TV talk show “Virus” (2016). Red Ronnie, a DJ and Eleonora Brigliadori (an ex-actress) were given the majority of the segment. Both of them hold antivaccination positions. Burioni had only a few seconds to correct the misinformation. Burioni responded by posting to Facebook his own version of events. Over 5 million people read the post in a single day. The final season of “Virus” ended with the cancellation of the TV series. He has gained a large social media following with over 480,000 Facebook followers and 114,000 Twitter followers.

In January 2019 Burioni launched a Pact for Science, calling on all Italian political parties to sign on and pledge to follow five points: to support science as a universal value of progress and humanity; to refuse to support or tolerate pseudoscience, pseudomedicine, and any treatments that are not based on scientific and medical evidence; to prevent pseudo-scientists from creating unjustified alarm regarding health care interventions which have been scientifically and medically demonstrated to be safe; to implement programs designed to correctly inform the public about science, using experts in their fields; and to ensure that scientific research is adequately supported in terms of public financing. Many politicians have signed the pledge, including Beppe Grillo, founder of the Five Star Movement, a party which has strong ties to the antivaccination movement.
