What a nut job.  The federal government wants these vaccines to be produced in order to maintain a healty population.  As RFK found out in his first days in office measles vaccines are needed and would have prevented the deaths that occurred.  Only around a thousand individuals have been infected and people are still dying.  The unvaccinated are a danger to the vaccinated because vaccines are not 100% effective, and maintaining the virus in a population infects some vaccinated individuals.
What this committee is supposed to do is insure that the companies that the Federal government depends on to produce the vaccines makes the safest and most effective vaccines possible.  My take is that it would cost a lot more if the federal government made the vaccines.  The NIH is involved in vaccine research, but it is not able to go into mass production in any type of safe way.  The FDA is supposed to make sure that the pharm companies are doing the job the right way.
