The Gates Foundation reported $250 million+ invested in companies working on COVID vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics, including $40 million in CureVac. Gates recommended Remdesivir without disclosing his foundation's stock position in Gilead. The foundation is GAVI's largest donor at $7.7 billion over 25 years and disbursed $3.9 billion to the Global Fund. WHO's growing dependence on voluntary contributions allows wealthy donors to bypass democratic decision-making, with vaccine manufacturers sitting on GAVI's governance board.
