While it is possible to get sick from eating rare ground beef, it's not something that's very likely or very common. I just celebrated my 79th birthday & have been eating rare hamburgers since I was a young child. I don't recall ever getting sick from eating a rare hamburger. I've gotten sick from lots of other food, from salsa to oysters, but not hamburger. I guess the key would be to get your hamburger from a good source - or make your own. I generally get cheap chuck & grind my own.
Another is timing. At the country club where I once worked the house manager would sometimes scoop up some freshly ground hamburger and eat it raw. Once the E.coli is folded into the patties it begins forming colonies. Early on the colonies aren't large enough to do damage. If those patties sit around for a couple of days a person could be in trouble eating them raw.

I don't worry about getting sick although I do got sick from time to time. Rare steak simply doesn't taste good to me. I ate them because I can't always have them prepared the way I want which is well done. When the meat is not done it doesn't have the sweetness of well cooked meat. Same thing with vegetable and I usually eat may vegetable raw but when I cook they must be well cooked. I hate vegetable just blanched.
