We are in DIRE fucking need of prominent, loud, and substantial public funding for reproducibility studies, and regulations around reporting on scientific discoveries/studies. There are so many of these communities of folks who have completely gone off the map regarding some aspect of science, and a sufficient amount of research on your part will lead back to 1 or 2 studies by one doctor who had an axe to grind or money to make, and it's since spawned an utter juggernaut of misinformation and fraud.
