MICH. — A Ferris State University instructor is being investigated after calling the coronavirus pandemic a stunt and using slurs on Twitter.
In some of the tweets from physical sciences professor Thomas Brennan, he says smartphones are the main cause of COVID-19 symptoms, uses the n-word repeatedly and tweets anti-Semitic conspiracies.
The account’s other tweets regarding COVID-19 say things such as:
- “Guess what the covid stunt has failed. You won’t get your leftist new world order.”
- “Covid19 is another jewish revolution.”
- “F— this evil wizard,” in reference to a video of Dr. Anthony Fauci.
- “Stand up for yourselves people, and stop falling for this corona virus hoax!”
- “I’d say covid-19 is fake. An evil medical system just killed a bunch of old people.”
Brennan responded to the student newspaper’s publicationof his tweets with a letter. In it he doubles down on his beliefs claiming the pandemic is designed to enslave humanity, comparing a vaccine to the mark of the beast and calls the n-word a “mind-control spell.”
University president David Eisler says Brennan was placed on leave last week. The school says it “strongly rejects” and condemns his remarks.
