that might be the trick , the lack of exposure to bacterias when not
drinking raw mother's milk (  pasteurised formula) then not eating raw or
rare meats  is underdevelopping and compromising the healthy function of
immune systems .
Eating meats from animal with an underdeveloped and compromised immune
system ( unatural foods, antibiotics ,worm medications , may be hormones) is
not going to help you to have an healthy immune system and this either the
meat is raw or cooked.

That is obviously the expression of a fear . And by eating cooked meats for
the purpose of avoiding the confrontation with life , it looks like the
story of the dog running after its tail.
It is just reinforcing the inadequacy of humans to found their righfull
place in the web of life

I would rather hear about the benefits of eating cooked meat than what it is
supposed to protect ourselves from.
It is true,  life is dangerous ,you can die from it.
