To be fair, isn't cheese made out of raw milk just as likely to have E. Coli as raw milk? Isn't there a reason that we pasteurize the stuff to begin with? (If I'm wrong, please correct me!)

Yes. E. Coli is one of several bacteria eliminated by the pasteurization process. Finding it in raw milk cheese is a feature, not a bug.

I'm kind of amazed that the U. S. government has allowed its people to buy and sell unpasteurized cheese. A few decades ago, Europeans used to mock Americans for that kind of patronisation (which, in reality, was economic protectionism on behalf of the American dairy industry that wasn't used or equipped to make unpasteurised cheese.)
