PDF files can contain malware in them which is why you should never open them if you get a spam email or something with an attached PDF. However I'd be very surprised if SciHub contains any malware like this person says because it's generally considered as a trusted source of information, without providing a valid source for that claim I can only take it as rumor or propaganda at best.

BTW, you can also use tools like @dangerzone to safely open potentially harmful PDFs - it's made for people like journalists who may need to open many PDFs as part of their work.
