I'm not entirely sure how accurate that comparison would be, the mosquito isn't designed to spread disease, it's just a byproduct. Contrary to the bullet which is designed to kill and isn't just coincidentally deadly
The mosquito is the gun in that analogy, the disease is the bullet. Bullets are completely safe until fired from a gun, diseases are completely safe until you are exposed to them.
