It did happen. Earth became infected. Maybe even because you were shot down.

Your escape from the planet as a player causes the events of Natural Selection to happen. http://naturalselection.wikia.com/wiki/Kharaa_(Natural_Selection_2)

If the Aurora had simply scanned the planet and then proceeded to go elsewhere without getting shot down this could've been avoided.
