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.
Not to mention the overwhelming majority of coronaviruses in humans are practically harmless, which only further increases its odds of becoming harmless
