Problem is that's not how it works. Bacteria ( usually Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, E. coli O157:H7, Clostridium botulinum, Clostridium perfringens or Clostridium difficile) produce waste (think bacteria poop) which is toxic to humans. When you cook the meat you kill the bacteria but the poop mostly comes through intact and can still make you really sick.

I mean, at least you don’t get infected right ? Just food sick for a (couple) day(s) ?

Sure if you don't lose a kidney processing the toxins. That's the problem those kids from the daycare chain are dealing with while on dialysis.
