No, not at all.
First, it isn't new: it's just the "GPL is viral" classic FUD, then
it's still incorrect: when you're ill from a viral infection, you
didn't choose it but a developer can choose whether he wants to use
GPL code or not.

Incorrect analogies are really, really nasty stuff, please don't
propagate this FUD.
