Most viruses also reach an “equilibrium”.

tell that to virus/bacteria induced plagues... like the bubonic or corona.

Corona has become endemic. It's death rate is now barely above the flu. It is here to stay. Isn't that exactly that equilibrium the quote was speaking of?

It only worked out this away, as we become more resistant to it thanks to herd-vaccination. If it hadn't been for our research it would most certainly stayed pandemic.

And the death toll would have been higher if we just let it spread freely before vaccinations were available.

The bubonic plague did reach and equilibrium. It never went away, it just mutated enough to not kill us so fast.

Same with the flu that was called 'Spanish flu' as a slur in the US around 1918 that was extremely lethal.
