I agree with you, Translucent, regarding Dr. Campbell's brilliance for the same reasons as you have stated.
In my view, Dr. Campbell is also treading just about the most difficult path imaginable (the razor's edge). It would be a lot easier for him to leave YT in a huff and join the numerous dissident doctors and scientists who are 'preaching to the converted' on other platforms. But what about the masses of people who belong to the 'mushy middle' and may be amenable to the truth if it is presented in a safe and non-confrontational way? To my mind, Campbell is not only brilliant, he is very compassionate. With every video he makes, he is going through a gauntlet of censors who would be more than happy to banish him to YT purgatory. But still he does it. And he has figured out the power of non-verbal communication. While I do not look to him for cutting-edge info, I do watch him from time to time for the sheer pleasure of watching an incredibly kind, caring man do his best to wake up as many people as possible. He was a nurse for most of his professional life; that nurse-like care for others at a very 'human' level shines through his very being. I see him as a beautiful soul and a hero in his own right - perhaps in his own category.
