The right-o-sphere, led by Elon Musk, has launched a smear campaign to tar Yoel Roth as a pedophile. (This is not Musks's first time baselessly smearing someone as a pedophile). The gist of the lie is based on a single line taken out of context from Roth's Ph.D thesis.
If you'd like to read the Ph.D thesis itself (or at least browse it), you can find it here. (https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/1985/) You will find no pedophilia. You will find Roth calling for platforms like Grinder to do a better job of ensuring the safety of minors.
Facts matter.
Do not take advice on virology, molecular biology, or phylogenetic analysis from this man.
