The WHO is primarily funded by the member states. The annual funding of the WHO is over $4 billion while Bill Gates only contributed ~8% of that. His media funding is also a tiny fraction of the revenues of the funded media, and supports reporting on specific topics. https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2024/01/16/false-claim-gates-responsible-for-88-of-who-funding-fact-check/72191163007/ https://suksesnews.com/english-ection/world-news/revealed-documents-show-bill-gates-has-given-319-million-to-media-outlets/ https://www.theguardian.com/gnm-press-office/2023/jul/25/guardian-media-group-plc-gmg-publishes-202223-statutory-financial-results

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1823820152863150221

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
