Sure. Separate but equal, presumably.

Whats the alternative? Withholding effective tools because they arent effective for everyone? One model thats worse for everyone?

This is what personalized medicine is, and it gets more individualistic than simply classifying people by race and gender. There are a lot of medical gains to be made here.

I'm not arguing against using the models per se. It's just that this is a social problem, to which there's no good technical solution. The hard road of social change is the only real alternative.

Citation needed. Personalized medicine seems like a great idea in principle, but so far attempts to put it into practice have been underwhelming in terms of improved patient outcomes. You seem to be assuming that these tools actually are effective, but generally that remains unproven.
