What do you think about the mis-alignment between goals here?

For medical research, the goal is to find general practices that will broadly help, and identify risks with the intervention. Even then, with many interventions, it's understood that they will effect people differently.

For individuals, they don't care about variation in communities, or standard medical practices, they are looking for relief for their specific condition.

Of course, declaring that just because something worked for one person, it should work for others, is wrong in both camps.

I feel like a big part of the disconnect here, and a big reason why people are talking past each other, is that they actually have different goals, and aren't really aware of that difference.
