as somebody who took parasitology, you're half right
The only reason beef tapeworms are safer is because you can't ingest the eggs. Tapeworm eggs slip through your small intestinal walls and move around the body, burrowing into whatever tissue they can find. This includes your eyes and brain. They usually end up being calcified by your immune system but if that happens in the brain you can have horrible seizures.
The REAL horrifying part is that if you take anti-tapeworm medicine once its in your brain, when it dies your immune response includes inflammation, essentially causing swelling of your brain leading to seizures, coma, you name it. It's awful and this is why you should never handle raw pork, or eat anything downstream of a pork farm since the eggs are passed in their shit.
The stage that we get from beef tapeworms is called a cysticercus, which hooks onto your small intestinal wall and then grows into an adult. People think they cause weight loss, really they don't do shit. They absorb excess waste and barely have any footprint on your overall well being.
Basically, raw meat is generally ok as long as its not pork.
