“An organization of doctors like ‍fimp, which promotes homeopathy⁣ – a practice completely devoid of any proven efficacy – should be ashamed,” Burioni wrote on social media. “Such an association should be ‍abandoned⁤ immediately by all ‍serious pediatricians.”

Burioni’s post sparked a wave of support from‍ fellow medical professionals. Many pediatricians expressed their dismay and disappointment with the Fimp’s decision, with some even stating they had contacted the organization’s leadership to⁢ voice ⁣their concerns.

“I am a family pediatrician and a long-time member of Fimp,” wrote Francesca beccaro, a pediatrician who commented on Burioni’s post. “Upon receiving the invitation to this webinar, I and several colleagues sent an email to our presidency⁢ to express our shock and disappointment.⁢ This initiative, from my personal perspective, is detrimental to our professionalism.
