Is there any evidence anti-vaccine and homeopathy movements are bigger than they were in the past?

Google Trends suggests homeopathy is up a bit recently, but way down from its pre-internet peak.

I'm talking about Germany here as I can't really speak for the US, where from 2011 to 2013 prescriptions rose 3.8% and OTC sales went up 23% (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hom%C3%B6opathie#Bundesrepubli...).

As for antivaxers, Europe as a whole has a huge measles problem which has risen in the last years (http://theconversation.com/whats-behind-the-sudden-rise-in-m...).

Are you saying proponents of quackery might misread somebody's home ultrasound or give misleading advice on how to read it? That doesn't sound any worse than what could happen with thermometers, stethoscopes, blood pressure meters, athlete wristbands, and inspecting the color of phlegm, poo, urine, skin, etc. Nobody would want to hide those things from people for their own safety.

With most of what you mentioned, the local quacker is not able to say "OMG YOU GOT CANCER, HERE TAKE THIS $1000/pill HOMEOPATHIC CRAP"... with an ultrasound image he is very well able to do so. And people will do it, thanks to human greed - if you need a confirmation google for "miracle mineral supplement" aka chlorine dioxide and the "industry" surrounding this.

This is why we can't have nice things, the potential of abuse is just too high :(
