Scottish government under fire for asking kids about ‘anal sex’

Scotland’s privacy regulators are investigating a government census asking children as young as 14 a range of intimate questions about their sex lives.

Drafted by the government, the controversial ‘Health and Wellbeing Census’ has already been handed out to secondary school students in 11 of Scotland’s 32 local authorities, The Herald reported on Saturday.

A total of 14 have declined to distribute it, while others want changes to a controversial section on sexual health.

This section asks children whether they have had “sexual experiences,” including “oral sex” or “vaginal or anal sex.” Other questions ask how many sexual partners the children have had in the past year, and a full list of questions has not been made available to parents.

New vaccine kills ‘zombie’ cells that cause aging – study

Japanese scientists have developed a vaccine to target so-called zombie cells that pile up over time and damage healthy cells. These cells are thought to be responsible for a range of age-related ailments, such as heart disease.

The research, published on Friday in the online version of the Nature Aging journal, found a reduction in the number of zombie cells – clinically known as senescent cells – in mice that were administered the vaccine. The effect was also seen in areas of the bodies that were affected by stiffening of arteries.

Although the govt had apparently intended for most of the nearly 1mn-a-day boosters to be covered by walk-in appointments, the website queue to book appointments reached over 10k people.

The Omicron variant now reportedly makes up 40% of all Covid infections in London.

Turkey’s battered currency fell to a new low Monday, past 14 to the US dollar, prior to what investors expect to be rate cuts from the central bank despite soaring inflation.
