Beef isn’t too bad to be eaten raw, but pork has bacteria and parasites that are much more dangerous to humans. That’s why some religions ban eating pork. It keeps their followers alive.
Yes, healthy people hardly ever notice the disease. However, the infection can have serious consequences for them if their immune system is weakened, for example if they have an organ transplant or if they contract AIDS. The parasite can then become active again and cause brain inflammation.
If the mother becomes infected with this pathogen during pregnancy, it can be transmitted to the unborn child, and the unborn child also becomes infected and suffers developmental disorders. This leads to the unborn child being born deformed or a miscarriage occurring.
You wouldn’t.

What do you mean I wouldn’t? I eat raw pork regularly. Just like everybody else in Europe.
Some people in Germany regularly eat raw pork. The rest of Europe cook their pork thoroughly.
I had raw pork in Italy, UK and Spain.
No-one will stop you eating raw pork in Italy, UK and Spain.
No-one will join you either.
Wow. Half of Germans have the parasite Toxoplasma gondii
25% of the world’s population has toxoplasmosis. The main distribution vector is cats. That’s why we all love cats!
Do Germans love cats twice as much, or can we assume raw pork is also a factor?
It doesn’t matter as it doesn’t hurt anyone in any way, shape or form.
Incorrect.

Cool story. But again, 25% of all population are infected. And side effects are pretty much non existent.
50% of people in (East?) Germany, and I listed the existing serious effects above.
