You might be surprised Yeddi.
I would assume then that anyone who says that germs aren't part of disease then would be misinterpreting Cellular Theory. Cellular theory's premise is that diseases are associated with a particular condition rather than simply a micro-organism - in that germs can only create disease in the right biological environment, so that if someone does catch a disease it is because they are in a state of unhealth that allows that germ to have the power to cause disease, not because the germ has the power to cause disease of its own accord ITMS. I could see how someone could take this theory as saying germs don't cause disease, bad health does, but it's a little more complicated than that.
