Pasteurization curves work at 120f for most things but most people would prefer a higher temperature because they want the protein denaturing and collagen breakdown that occurs at higher temps (resulting in a slightly firmer texture)
The necessary internal temp is still strongly affected by both the type of meat, as well as known infectious diseases that will grow in different foods.
No you’re correct and I’m a dummy, it’s been ages since I’ve cooked meat. 130F is the lower bound for beef
You can sous vide beef in some circumstances at 120 but this is the equivalent of cooking beef rare. If you do this you should either blanch the beef or sear the meat before cooking it
The whole “cook meat as low as you possibly can sous vide” thing is dead anyway. All the cool kids have moved on to the new Baldwin curves that overshoot to speed up cooking immensely (outlined here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GapkjSTx3Ao )

Pasteurization also has very specific context…
So, color me not convinced!
