No. The reason that we used to be advised to cook pork thoroughly was because of trichinosis. That is no longer common, so it is no longer necessary to thoroughly cook pork to the degree that it used to be.
You mean those diseases which have never been found to occur in pigs? Yeah. Delicious. I’m not defending this practice, but your reason to be against it is based on a falsehood.
