That's why we need strong regulation and oversight. We know humans are highly vulnerable to greed. We can't (and arguably shouldn't) change that. We can however put measures in place to limit the harm we do to ourselves because of it.
But again, this is an economic problem. In a perfect world, we'd have an infinite fund for doing science and you couldn't publish a paper until your results were reproduced.
But we live in a capitalist society where incentives are profit-driven (mostly). That's a reality regardless of whether you think it's good or bad.
