most milk doesn't even have anything growing in it. If you take care in storage - refrigeration, clean containers, and use it fast you are probably safe. Probably is of course odds and so if everyone did it there would be deaths - but most people would never be sick

Most chicken doesn’t either. Yet we don’t eat rare, juicy chicken.
It’s a risk. There’s a long history of sick and dead people associated with raw milk.
its not a comparable risk, not even remotely.
26 deaths, 356 hospitalised, and less than 1% of food borne disease outbreaks over a 26 year period in England and Wales: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6805749/
ANY food would be safer cooked, but most people eat quite a lot raw.
