Obviously I understand the risk of salmonella, but why isn’t it also in the yolks? Is salmonella like ecoli where it comes from something else?

Salmonella is a type of bacteria that lives in chickens, mainly in their guts. It’s also possible for salmonella to get into either their eggs or their meat. Eggs are pretty well sealed until you crack them, which is usually right before you eat them. Most raw chicken you are able to buy is days or weeks old at minimum, so there’s a lot more time for any bacteria in it to multiply to harmful levels.
Eggs can still contain salmonella inside their shells right from their time of creation, so eating raw egg yolk isn’t 100% safe either.
