Dear @SecPompeo: The US must immediately #RecognizeArtsakh; condemn Azerbaijan; cut off military aid to Baku; enforce Section 907, and; apply Global Magnitsky sanction to Aliyev and Erdogan.

I’m so honored to be part of today’s global effort to support the @ArmeniaFund. I’ve been speaking out about the current situation in Armenia and Artsakh and having conversations with so many others to bring further awareness to the crisis that we cannot allow to advance.

Turkey and Azerbaijan have launched a war against Armenia & Artsakh. They’re manipulating social media to hide the truth, similar to their efforts against “The Promise” movie which highlighted horrors of the 1915 Armenian Genocide #StopAliyev #StopErdogan. https://t.co/BtmH2kpuAY

According to recent polling, over 1/3 of Americans will not take a COVID-19 vaccine when it is available. If this holds true, it will not be possible to achieve herd immunity, even with a vaccine that is 75% effective.

@mbeckett It's great that you called people's attention to Simpson's paradox and to the fact that "correct" pooling of data requires causal thinking. This paper https://t.co/gnHgaoNrZD has also noticed the phenomenon in covid-19 data and explains how to handle it correctly.

I don't know what's gonna happen. But I think there is maybe just the teensiest tiniest bit too much pessimism about how/when the US will manage to open society/the economy back up. Like people here are an 9 on pessimism scale when they should be at 6 or 7 or 8. Quick points:

WATCH: "The best estimates now of the overall mortality rate for COVID-19 is somewhere between 0.1% and 1%," Adm. Brett Giroir, assistant secretary for health at HHS, says. "That's lower than you heard probably in many reports ... it's not likely in the range of 2 to 3%"
