So-called "food-poisoning" generally seems to affect those already  in ill-health, such as old people etc. I once had an awful food-poisoning incident with some aged raw cod roe, but I simply vomited it out. The way I see it, us RPDers are protected from such incidents as we already have lots of other bacteria to combat any harmful bacteria etc. The key to immunity, I suspect, is how much aged raw meats one eats.

good suggestion to always smell and taste each oyster and not shoot it down with sauce, and or chase it with a beer.

You're missing the point. First of all, deaths from food-poisoning are very rare, plus the ones affected tend to be vulnerable groups that were already ill such as old people and babies.
