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
