F-Droid is very similar in design to Linux/BSD/... package repositories as in only a few select people can push binaries to the repos (of course you can extend that list if you add other repos to your list). Considering the official F-Droid repo only ever accepts free software that can be built (manually or automatically) by the maintainers, the risk of spreading stuff that can be called "viruses" or "malware" is somewhat slim; either the original app code repo or a maintainer has to go wrong. However this is significantly less likely than on a store virtually anybody can upload to. Your comment just comes out as dismissive based on your perceived insignificance of the project, but that's just twisting reality: F-Droid has less malware, by design.
