The American Psychological Association (APA) is expanding efforts that it launched in 2021 to combat what it considers to be “misinformation” and is seeking additional government funding to aid in its quest.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the APA accepted a $2 million grant from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to help it control the mainstream COVID-19 narratives. They were tasked with developing “a scientific consensus statement on the science of misinformation,” and a post on the APA’s website announcing the award claimed: “Psychologists can serve an important role in guiding the world out of the pandemic. We are the discipline with expertise to address vaccine decision-making, and susceptibility to misinformation.”
