Consumption of tissue cysts in meat is one of the primary means of T. gondii infection, both for humans and for meat-eating, warm-blooded animals.[30]: 3  Humans consume tissue cysts when eating raw or undercooked meat (particularly pork and lamb).[41] Tissue cyst consumption is also the primary means by which cats are infected.[4]: 46

If you're not going to pay attention to the evidence I have already provided you, no further evidence will convince you. You just do not want to believe this, and you won't.

So.

  1. Eating raw pork is the number one transmission route for t. gondii.
  2. Germany eats raw pork in the form of mett.
  3. Germany has much higher rates of t. gondii than other countries.
  4. Those rates also correlate with the amount of raw pork eaten.

This is something you will just completely ignore?

OR, you can stop trying to desperately rationalise, and accept that this is pretty obvious.
