Thankfully the LK99 paper was easy to (try) and reproduce, and it quickly became obvious that it didn't work the way the researchers initially believed.
The same can't be said for the other studies that come out and affect public policy which can't be reproduced. And in some cases we can't even get the data to attempt it!
