This is the part I'm curious about. Or rather, why beef seems to be sufficiently immune to all infections -- not just unique or universal ones -- so as to be safe for raw consumption (something I hadn't known until now).
The best guess I can venture is that it has something to do with the raising and butchering process. Notice that it's also safe to eat a lot of seafood raw (which is often called sushi); it seems unlikely to me that all sorts of random sea-critter would also have any special cow immune system features.
Yes. Conventional wisdom is that undercooked beef is pretty safe. Weird that chicken and pig cultivation would be so much more filthy than cow and farmed-fish. (for fish, we could suppose that fish diseases and parasites aren't so harmful to us as those found in our mammal kin)
