"This" in context is covid...
The op/ed that you shared a link to includes heavily edited and partial quotes of what Biden has said.
I think Bobby is asking you to provide direct and complete quotes of Biden saying he would end COVID.

“I would make sure we move into the direction of rapid testing, investing in rapid testing. I would make sure that we set up national standards as to how to open up schools and open up businesses so they can be safe and give them the wherewithal, the financial resources to be able to do that.”
He added: “And so, folks, I will take care of this. I will end this.”


Seems like he is saying he will end the lockdowns so we can get back to "normal" life.
 
I am still not sure why people care if someone else is vaccinated. If YOU are vaccinated then YOUR chances of getting COVID are the same whether I am vaccinated or not. That is literally all a vaccinated person needs to know. It is NOT just unvaccinated people spreading COVID. Vaccinated people still carry and spread it. You have to ask yourself what is really behind bitching about the "anti-vax" crowd.

Actually that is incorrect - remember heard immunity. Here's the reasons I ***** about the "anti-vax" crowd:

1) It's another demonstration of the rejection of science, facts, data, which IMHO endangers us all and impedes human progress. mRNA for example is here to stay and (IMHO) presents all sorts of opportunities to cure/treat disease.
2) Sometimes it's just too easy to pass up on. Especially when we're talking Covid and the abundance of information available. It's just too easy to poke all sorts of holes in the anti-vaxxer narrative.
3) The dishonesty coming from the "anti-vax" crowd who pretend their decision is rooted in science, VAERs reports, data, etc, when clearly it isn't.
4) The dishonesty coming from the "anti-vax" crowd who pretend the (mis)information they are providing is just prevent people from taking a dangerous vaccine, when the vaccine isn't dangerous.
5) Pisses me off when people take things out of context. Gets under my skin when people present 1/2 the facts in an attempt to misled the audience. With no context or just some of the facts, Rittenhouse is just a little fuccwad armed with an AR shooting innocent protesters armed with skateboards and plastic bags. With context, Rittenhouse was clearly acting in self defense.
6) Misinformation campaigns also piss me off. Ie the BLM movement's misinformation campaign led to riots and death. If you really want to blame somebody for the Rittenhouse shootings, how about blaming those that spread BLM's misinformation ultimately creating the situation that Rittenhouse, et al found themselves in.

Agreed. I take "I will end this" to be the usual political hyperbole vs some sort of attempt to mislead the public about Covid. It's easy to make anybody look like an idiot if you take them out of context. It'd be an interesting exercise to take a bunch of Einstein quotes out of context and see how stupid/delusional you could make him look.
 
It’s because people want to be part of the in or trendy crowd. Many people have no purpose to their lives, like having no conviction that they live every day by, so they find purpose in what the state wants, like drawing personal meaning from it. That’s how every totalitarian government takes hold and gains support, with a bunch of support from people with no true purpose behind their actions of their lives. They gotta find meaning somewhere. “I’m helping save the world!”

It’s because people want to buck the trend. Many people have no purpose to their lives, like having no conviction that they live every day by, so they find purpose in railing against the state, like drawing personal meaning from it. That’s how every totalitarian government takes hold and gains support, with a bunch of support from people who feel they are victims of the state and much buck the status quo. They gotta find meaning somewhere. “I’m helping save the world!”
