They'd have to keep purging it, though. As mentioned, the Pathogen isn't a one-time 'bug' that just stops after a while -- it keeps attacking/evolving/spreading endlessly.
But as seen in X-Sanction(among a few other stories), the TO virus takes a considerable amount of time to fully infect Cable, even when he's not using TK to keep it at bay. A big dose of the Pathogen, however, can fully destroy the host at the molecular level, nigh-instantly.
But even if Cable's TK were able to purge the Pathogen, he(like everyone else who might be able to initially purge it) would still be under that sort of continuous molecular bombardment from the ever-evolving Pathogen, endlessly. Additionally, Cable would also be simultaneously fighting against hordes of those who were infected/mutated by the Pathogen on Marvel earth... And if Cable is forced to use his TK to defend himself from these creatures(which is very likely), it could sharply weaken any resistance he may have to the Pathogen: https://i.imgur.com/Ju4Jjhp.jpg
I'm sure he could. But obviously the intent of this thread wasn't to have a universal reality manipulator *poof* the Pathogen out of existence, ftw. It's more about who would be able to survive if the entire planet was engulfed in this shit.
...Not to mention that when I first made this thread, Franklin hadn't been seen or heard from since the finale of Secret Wars -- so I didn't really plan on him being here regardless. /shrug
Now that I think about it, there's a fair chance Marvel Earth would survive. I recognize that the goo's designed to evolve past normal human science, but then again we're talking about an Earth that's populated by guys like Reed and Doom... it's already well beyond what we(or the movie) consider human science. Marvel's top minds would likely put the Engineers and David to shame. Even their second and third tier brainiacs likely would. Have they really accomplished anything that we can't picture people someone like Mr Sinister accomplishing if he were the only super powered being on the planet? That's not to say a mass bombardment wouldn't sow chaos and confusion all over the planet because it totally would. The Earth would undoubtedly lose a large portion of it's population but between the brain's, mystics, and matter manipulators(who could simply turn the black goo to water) I think logically they'd most likely pull through in the end. Hell if nothing else, someone would go back in time and stop David from succeeding in his attack.

Maybe the science of it's universes Earth, but Marvel Earth is a whole different story. A significant number of the "brains" in Marvel have technology/knowledge that's vastly beyond the their human science too.
Ok. In that case, people like Hulk, Wolvie, Sentry, Ethereal beings and etc should be able to survive the first attack. They could also probably kill all of the resulting Protomorphs/Xenomorphs/Mutants but the earth's population would be ****ed beyond repair.
