So in essence all of these people are either lying or promoting a fraud.
If that’s what you want to believe, then go for it.
The point is that people have been able to find holes in OSX and exploit them, they have been able to infect, for whatever reason that OS. And most of all Apple, again with an OS that is next to bulletproof supposedly, issues security patches.
Keep telling yourself it’s all a lie, as if you are find some shame in actually being prepared and aware. You are not an employee of Apple nor garner a paycheck from them, so goodness knows how you could be almost offended by people pointing out that stuff like this exist and can happen.
At worse Apple loses a marketing talking point. At best their users are more cautious.

I am not offended. I am challenging you to prove your assertion that there are exploits in the wild that are adversely impacting Mac OS X users.
Where are the self-replicating, self-transmitting, self-installing viruses, worms and other malware like those that infect the Windows users' computers?
You made the claim "...stuff like this exist..." So prove it. Show us the exploits that have impacted thousands of Mac users. Show us the evidence that you speak from superior knowledge to those of us who actually use the platform. By the way, how much have you actually used a Mac, not just played around with one in a store, actually used one, to give you superior knowledge about Macs and their strengths and weaknesses compared to Windows?
"Can happen?" Of course it can... but has it? So far, in over eight years, it has not happened.
You come into Mac threads and belittle the Mac users.
. . . Mac users still march around like these warnings are all an elaborate lie cooked up just to hurt Apple’s feelings?
We discuss the OS... you attack the users.
