The altered Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, without new data to justify a reassessment, will no longer recommend universal hepatitis B vaccination at birth. The committee voted 8–3 to limit vaccination of newborns to those whose mothers test positive for the virus.

For mothers who test negative during pregnancy, ACIP now recommends waiting until their infants are two months of age to give them the first dose. There was no evidence provided at the meeting to support this timing change.

Not really. They tend to be pretty amateurishly written.

Meh they're pretty standard space opera pulp, with some better than others. The real problem is that, like any satire, eventually they forget they are supposed to be satire and begin to unironically endorse the system they mock.
