Not entirely true. There is malware for macs, but not viruses. Macs run on a unix based operating system. By design it's nearly impossible to write a working virus for unix and linux systems. The user running the system must install the software. It's not like some script kiddie can write something to secretly run in the background and take over the system. They'd have to write a program and trick the user into installing it.
