Are Wi-Fi sticks actually safe from infection by computer viruses?
So WLAN sticks themselves.

Theoretically, a virus can also nest in the UEFI.
However, WLAN sticks are rather irrelevant. Especially since they first report as OD for driver installation, this is not an RW memory.
Notification
What do you mean by 0D and what about RW storage? And what if the WLAN stick apparently has a memory where installation files are located? Can he be endangered by an infected computer?
I wrote OD (optical drive) and not 0D. RW = read/write.
A few WLAN USB sticks are not reported as OD (e.g. CD-ROM drive with inlaid closed CD) to offer the drivers for installation.
Where you don’t have an RW medium, the virus can actually only have gotten in the factory and not later.
Notification
An infection does not have to do with the medium but rather with the existing firewall, virus scanner and user behavior.
The WLAn Stick transmits only and does not start any viruses. Just like a LAN cable.
If you visit a contaminated page, the Wi-Fi stick cannot recognize. This should prevent the virus scanner by surfing ahead and investigating the related data. Incoming attempts to attack the Internet should prevent the routerfirewall.
If you don’t try everything.
It’s just hardware. And hardware usually cannot infect your PC with viruses.
Is a hardware with software, otherwise it would not work.
Otherwise, a USB stick would also be safe. And a PC could not get any virus because both HDD and SSD hardware are.
Depends on your surfing behavior and in which Wi-Fi networks you’re cheating
The stick in itself is infections very much no matter
