I disagree with their premise. Humanity has NEVER stopped the propagation of a disease which is airborne, mutates rapidly, and is well-adjusted to human physiology. SARS wasn't well adapted and not particularly airborne which is why it was reined in. MERS was better adapted and cases STILL pop up NINE YEARS LATER. We mostly stopped mumps, but it didn't mutate rapidly, so it was stopped dead by the vaccine (though there's still 100-200 cases per year in the US alone). COVID is super-well adapted to infect humans, has changed to mutate around the vaccines, and is very airborne. This alone meant we probably weren't stopping it. Adding to the problem, they wouldn't admit any airborne transmission until it had been transmitting for MONTHS. This fact in particular is why there was zero chance they were stopping this once it started.
