The ''experts'' will warn you about the dangers of reading a study yourself instead of trusting them to do it for you, are the same ''experts'' who swallowed hook-line-and-sinker the bait fake study made by fake ''scientists'' supposedly proving hydroxychroloquine was killing people in clinical trials with impossible-to-verrify data.
It was made-up. They paraded it as definitive proof.
That's assuming you can get to the fucking research when it's normally behind a paywall.

I have personally been handed a claim from a research study, which was behind a University paywall. The next biggest danger is looking at the actual study, and having to read the whole thing because the abstract doesn't match the conclusion and the conclusion doesn't match the data. IF the data was collected and tabulated correctly (if you don't see error bars or error propagation, throw it away), you might find that the conclusion just fucks off and says the opposite of the data.
