WHO’s agenda is now heavily shaped by private and corporate-linked donors—especially the Gates Foundation, Gavi, and pharmaceutical-sector partners—because over 80% of its budget is earmarked funding tied to donor-specified priorities.
Proof: Who Funds the WHO (Succinct Summary), prepared by ChatGPT
1. WHO’s largest funders are no longer countries
Over the past 15 years, WHO’s budget has shifted dramatically. Most of its funding now comes from voluntary, earmarked contributions, not from member-state dues.
2. The single largest donor is the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
The Gates Foundation is consistently the top or second-largest contributor to WHO.
Its contributions often exceed those of most G7 countries.
3. Major corporate-linked donors influence WHO via “specified” contributions
Large contributions come from:
Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance (heavily funded by Gates Foundation + pharmaceutical partners)
CEPI (Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations)
UNITAID (funded partly by foundations and pharma-linked partnerships)
Pharmaceutical companies, directly or through industry consortia, often fund WHO projects or research streams
These funds are typically earmarked—meaning WHO must use them only for specific programs defined by the donor.
4. Earmarked money gives donors agenda-setting power
Today, over 80% of WHO’s total budget is earmarked.
This means:
Donors choose the priorities
Donors shape program directions
WHO has far less freedom to set its own agenda
5. Member-state assessed contributions now make up less than 20%
This undermines WHO’s independence and increases reliance on:
foundations
corporate-aligned partnerships
private donors
pharmaceutical-sector stakeholders
6. This funding structure is widely acknowledged to influence WHO’s policy direction
Multiple peer-reviewed papers (Lancet, BMJ) and governance audits note that:
WHO increasingly reflects the priorities of the donors whose funds are tied to specific projects
The shift toward private, corporate-linked funding has reshaped public-health agenda-setting
Vaccine-related programs are among the most heavily donor-directed
This is not conspiracy. It is documented governance reality.
In 2019, the WHO introduced a new AEFI (Adverse Event Following Immunization) framework that made it virtually impossible to prove vaccine-related injury or death. PHAC adopted it, stripping affected individuals and families of legal and institutional recourse—including from courts and unions.
The terminology was quietly rewritten: “adverse reactions” became “adverse events,” and causality was systematically removed—even when severe outcomes followed vaccination immediately, with no other plausible cause.

"The proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations open the door to the kind of narrative management, propaganda, and censorship that we saw during the COVID pandemic. The United States can cooperate with other nations without jeopardizing our civil liberties, without undermining our Constitution, and without ceding away America’s treasured sovereignty." - Secretary Kennedy | www.hhs.gov, Jul 18, 2025
