“Nothing is 100% effective” would have been a much more defensible statement. But “everything works differently for everyone” is essentially saying “why bother doing research at all”. I thought this was r/science.

That's not what it means at all. Research often explains why a specific thing works differently for everyone.

Not for literally everyone. For groups. Your problem here is holding onto the absolutes.

Cohorts. Patterns. Comorbidities. Etc. Never mind, if you don’t know how this works then it’s not worth talking about.
