If the data doesn't fit the preconceptions, then it's either something wrong with the data or with the preconceptions.

At this point doubt is healthy, especially since similar data from different sources shows different results.

I would really like to see an attempt to critically examine all the available data and try to give a plausible scientifical explanation, leaving aside political prejudices and sides.

What impacts what you consider "plausible" is your political preference.

Can I see the source of data indicating that there has been an increase in suicide deaths in the US? So far, nobody in the thread has actually posted such "similar data."

Nebulous references to what is "plausible" and "similar data" that never appears is, of course, exactly what we don't want.
