  The fraud allegations are bogus (according to wikipedia). "Millikan's experiment as an example of psychological effects in scientific methodology" is in itself a psychological study. Has this wikipedia source been peer reviewed and replicated? This is quibbling about fractions of a percent of the secondary measurement, the primary result being quite obvious quantization of electric charge. And! Ultimately the charge measurement result converged on the result known today within 10 years of his original experiment. That's what immunity looks like.

  The replication crisis is not at all about some papers not being replicable or being fraudulent - the crisis is about the issue that in certain domains a huge proportion of the papers (e.g. half!) turn out not replicable and actually false. I'd consider it appropriate to say that physics is indeed immune to replication crisis unless it turns out that a significant proportion (e.g. more than 5%, one order of magnitude less than for psychology) physics papers fail replication.
