Study claims more than half of high-profile findings cannot be independently reproduced

The post cites a statistic that more than 50% of high-profile scientific findings cannot be independently reproduced, with some lab research showing irreproducibility rates close to 90%.
The chart attached to the post breaks out prevalence by source and shows several examples: Amgen at 89%, Bayer Healthcare at 78%, and multiple other datasets around the low- to mid-50% range. The argument is that irreproducibility represents a very large waste of taxpayer-funded research money.
