We would need to coordinate the entire world to do so simultaneously, allow for no exceptions, and we would need to make sure that very few people manage sneak out to meet with others. We would also need to lock people individually (not as families) to prevent someone being inoculated near the end of the lockdown, or have a very long lockdown. Even then the probability of success is low. Endemism has always been the goal because we don't have a good alternative.

And all that would not even be enough, it's not only humans that can be infected. From Wikipedia:

Cats, dogs, ferrets, fruit bats, gorillas, pangolins, hamsters, mink, sea otters, pumas, snow leopards, tigers, lions, hyenas, tree shrews and whitetail deer can be infected with and have tested positive at least once for the virus.

Good luck quarantining(lol)/culling all these animals...
