I made a mistake here. The previous search I did was on "conflict" singular, 
not "conflicts", plural.

This is the same search as last time:
   http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=vaccine+conflict+of+interest
"Results 1 - 10 of about 261,000 for vaccine conflict of interest. (0.11 
seconds) "

The number has gone up by 20% in two days (from 222,000 to 261,000), not 
doubled. Sorry. So, not as much of a trend as I posted on (about seven times 
slower were it to keep up at that rate).
