That would have been a good idea... except Katarina destroyed all that guy's research and killed everyone who worked on developing that cure.

Her one-mindedness about her approach, means they don't have any kind of cure. The smart play would have been to immunize all the survivors in the world AND send Cole back with the cure.

It would be a paradox, but it still would be smarter than destroying the cure completely.
