Brioni became famous when he appeared on a talk show in May 2016. The show featured former DJ Red Roney and actress and television personality Eleonora Brigliadori , who used almost all airtime to develop anti-vaccine claims. Brioni had been invited to appear to counter the two, but the moderator spoke to Brioni for only a few minutes. In other words, Brioni was called only to make it a mid-horse.

Brioni, who took very little time to respond based on statistics and science, said briefly: 'The earth is round, gasoline burns well, and vaccines are safe and effective. It's a lie. ' Brioni's brief rebuttal garnered a huge response, with TV journalist Alessandro Milan picking him as `` the 13 most beautiful words on television in 2016 ''. How is it possible for someone without knowledge to appear and make a medical claim? '
Brioni responded to his TV appearance and said on a Facebook page, 'The two anti-vaccines played on the home ground and lost to the referee on their side. Thanks to those who send me, and I also want to thank a few people who are commenting on attacks and accusations, because their comments can be deleted immediately by me, It has very little effect on the post, and well, they will relax yourself with Red Ronnie and Brigliadori. ' Brioni's post also attracted attention, with over 4,000 likes.
Brioni, who skillfully used SNS and became a famous person on the Internet, started SNS in 2015, one year ago from 2016. An acquaintance of Brioni, who created a Facebook group for mothers of children, asked Brioni to post a note explaining the vaccine. Brioni said at the time, `` Because the anti-vaccine movement was expanding in Italy, I felt it was my duty to act as a physician and university professor, and most importantly, as the father of an 8-year-old daughter. I did. ' Brioni worried that her daughter would be bullied at school by publicly opposing anti-vaccines, but eventually took over the vaccine.
Brioni said in a Facebook post that `` promoting vaccines is a conspiracy for pharma companies that make a lot of money from vaccines, '' said `` pharmaceutical companies are more sick than vaccines that prevent them before they happen. I'm getting more benefits from selling cures.If you don't get your children vaccinated, the pharma company will thank you. '' .
The medical community welcomed Brioni, who concisely conveys the safety and need for vaccines in plain language. For example, Guido Silvestri, a professor of infectious disease at the Emory University School of Medicine, described Brioni as 'a scientist who was able to get up and speak 'bullshit'.'
The medical community in Italy needed a person like Brioni because of a series of medical scandals that reduced trust in medicine. For example, the number of vaccinees has declined worldwide since 1998 when British physician Andrew Wakefield published a paper stating that the new triple vaccine (MMR vaccine causes autism ) .
Recent research has proven that Wakefield's claim is incorrect.

However, in 2012, the Italian Rimini district court paid the Italian government 174,000 euros (approximately 21.36 million yen) in a trial filed by parents in 2012 claiming that the child had autism due to the MMR vaccine. The order has been issued. At that time, a judge with poor medical knowledge based his judgment on Wakefield's dissertation. The ruling that the Italian government's vaccine caused autism was overturned by a court of appeal in 2015, but the trial has triggered a move to avoid vaccines in Italy.
Also in 2013, the Italian government gave a huge grant to a study of stamina therapy that Italian inventor Davide Vannoni claimed to be effective against Parkinson's disease and muscular dystrophy without scientific support. An incident occurred. Stamina therapy was subsequently banned by law in 2014, and Vannoni was convicted of fraud.
As a result of these scandals, Italians no longer trust the healthcare system and vaccines, making Italy one of the lowest vaccination countries in Europe, measles It is said that the incidence rate of the second highest in Europe. Regarding such Italy, Mr. Brioni states in his book, 'Japan is a country that has been wandering forever between science and superstition.'
Italy's medical community and the vaccineers favor Brioni, while anti-vaccines rebelled against Brioni. For example, the following image shows a collage of anti-vaccine groups when vaccination of children was required in Italy in 2017. This collage, in which Brioni is bitten by a gag, is a comparison of Brioni to former Prime Minister Aldo Moro, who was kidnapped and murdered in 1978 by a far left terrorist organization.
In fact, online threats and killings of Brioni have been made, and some have targeted Brioni's daughter. Also, while Brioni was enjoying a vacation in Rimini's resort with his family, anti-vaccines who found it planned an assault online, which forced the family to evacuate according to police advice. That there was.
From a neutral standpoint, there are voices of concern about Brioni's advocacy of vaccines too concisely. 'The one-sided tone of Brioni is polarizing and oversimplifying complex arguments,' said science journalist Fabio Turone. According to Turone, less than 1% of all Italians refuse the vaccine firmly, and most unvaccinated people are cautious about vaccines or are simply unable to get vaccines. It is not just that.
'The anti-vaccines also want to protect their children, so we need a more empathetic approach,' said Roberta Villa, a physician and mother of one child. Paternalist methods don't work. '
Nevertheless, it is true that the 'Brioni effect', which has changed the Italian public's awareness of vaccines, has dramatically increased vaccination coverage in Italy. In Italy, the measles vaccine vaccination rate temporarily dropped to 85.3%, but it has increased to 94.1% since vaccination became mandatory in 2017. It is said that 95% of children need to be vaccinated to prevent the measles epidemic, and the figure of 94.1% is slightly short, but it is still much better than before. Vaccination has become mandatory in France and Germany in 2019, as Italy has successfully increased vaccination coverage.
'I'm sure there are good and destructive aspects to social media, but science has to come up with a new language.' It's not jargon, it's easy to understand, passionate and persuasive. '
