Nah he means sterilize the virus. It's a virology term to mean a human cannot host or fall ill from a specific virus.
What he is saying is if it's not 100% sterilization, it's dangerous as variants linger in some people and eventually morph into something super dangerous.
It's a really important point as too why if something isn't a vaccine, you probably shouldn't call it one and definitely shouldn't use it as one.
“These vaccines are unlikely to completely sterilise the population…”
“The regulators will need to look quite closely to make sure it’s done what we need it to do…”
“There will be a delay between the outcome of the trial and a decision whether it can be approved AS A VACCINE…”
Did someone remove this dude’s glowie filter before he went on TV? Talk about loose lips sinking ships…!

I don’t think he meant that at all, and variants don’t morph into “more powerful viruses” to the best of my knowledge
He did mean that. And yes the vaccine has the capability to make something more dangerous, these things have happened https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/tthis-chicken-vaccine-makes-virus-dangerous
