I under the sentiment about WHO, but I do think it's worth mentioning that WHO is able to give grants to independent R&D labs that are working on vaccines. Generally grants tend to work well in science because there's (normally) specific language that states how the money should be spent. This can be really helpful because it's easy to blow through money in R&D. Granted, this is all based on purely anecdotal evidence; I'm a researcher in the biotech industry and this has just been my experience.

Jan. 14: WHO announces Chinese authorities have seen "no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus."
There are less compromised money funnels than the WHO.
