It's been widely known and common knowledge in the scientific community for decades that viruses evolve to be less deadly, but more communicable. Killing your host is not an evolutionary benefit. It's actually a huge disadvantage. It's far easier to spread if your host stays alive for longer, and spreading is the ultimate evolutionary "goal" of any organism.
But we conveniently forget this knowledge when we're trying to craft a narrative and force people to do shit we want.
Globalism changes this equation. Two hundred years ago, a virus that quickly kills its hosts would burn out before it could be transmitted to the next town. Now that virus can be halfway across the world in less than a day.
For the citizens of Western nations, there is almost nothing good about globalism.
Not really. Highly contagious viruses like smallpox could still travel on the entire Earth pretty easily, I mean yeah ok it takes weeks instead of days, but in the end it doesn't change anything once it's there, you're just delaying the inevitable. I believe almost all civilizations had the flu or similar virus, as long as they did any commerce with any other society.
Our hygiene and quality of life is magnitudes higher than any other point in human history, that alone has been the real savior.
