Push for raw milk intensifies across the US, despite illness outbreaks and scientists' warnings

7. E. coli.

It's not a good thing, but not everybody's at equal risk of even noticing that it's been ingested (at least a lot of strains ... Some are truly bad).

Who's at risk? Elderly and very young. I've known lots of people who drank a lot of raw milk--esp. because it was easily available at every grocery store and 7-11 (or similar store). I'd pick up a gallon every morning when working my summer job, mowing and mulching and spraying and trimming and staining fencing--and that was my lunch pail. At 8 am I'd open it and stow it in the shed, stopping by on occasion, and by quitting time around 5 pm I was finishing the last of it. (Fridge? Just shade.) Then again, I was in my 20s. Neither very young nor elderly. (Nor immuno-compromised.)
