Except that being bitten gives you the fatal zombie fever. So early on in the apocalypse people saw others get but and then turn. It wasn't that the bite that made them turn; the bite made them die, and then dying made them turn.
We know from Hershal's injury that if you get bitten you can be saved by amputating that part. It even took Rick et al a few minutes to amputate his leg. Could be a plot twist.
