Because raw birds also have those diseases? What the fuck kind of question is that? Do you think birds are magically special and different? Salmonella is not a fun bacteria to wrestle. No one wants to risk at best a highly upset stomach or worst shitting your brains out until you need IVF or die.
The risk is high and the reward is you get to eat nasty raw chicken. That's not a risk assessment many smart people take chicken up on.
I don't think birds are magically different, it's everyone else who seems to. My question has consistently been why people (in general) are ok with eating some types of meat raw, but not birds.
Specifically I was asking one person who said that even if the chicken was raised and prepared in a hygienic manner that they wouldn't.
What the hell.
The answer to that question is: People aren't as educated about the dangers from other meat. They aren't as obvious or single-minded as salmonella on chicken, so idiot normies forget the risks and think it's OK because worms and other diseases aren't as obviously bad as a direct gamble with death.
TL;DR, the risks are less obvious and often less severe, and normies think "less" means, "ok", because they're dumb.
