Reasoning by analogy is not a sound way to make an argument. In fact, reasoning by analogy is always wrong to some greater or lesser degree. It is much better to directly address an argument.

Markets are created by humans when humans exchange things. The current market price express the current knowledge of all participants about the value of some traded thing. This is a decentralized process that often involves millions of different people with skin-in-the-game.

The argument against government regulation follows from this: regulation distorts the market from an equilibrium price. If this is a temporary measure then regulation is only delaying the inevitable and you should let the market reach equilibrium sooner. If it is a permanent measure, then you have a situation where the market no longer reflects the current knowledge of all participants, and at this point you start to lose the core value of a market.

By the way: markets aren't analogous to smallpox and wildfires, and regulation is not analogous to doctors and firefighters. Although this is an interesting insight into your world-view ;)
