Theranos did bog standard lab tests, drawing blood from a vein the old fashioned way, “surprise we have a needle! i thought… nope neeeedle!” then cocked them up in the lab, and used standard lab equipment instead of some mac cube lookalike designed to woo investors. So their case had nothing to do with legitimate research vs. not, but just a scammy scummy company overall.
