NEIDL's sponsors include the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (of which the Bill & Melinda Gates Medical Research Institute is the biomedical research wing). Bill Gates and his network have worked hard to block the Global South from getting generic access to Covid vaccines and other lifesaving and life-improving medications, in an effort to preserve their ability to extract profits through patent regimes - another indicator that NEIDL and the forces behind it aren't about "public health." The Gates Foundation has also funded and promoted dangerous experiments that unleashed over 2.4 million genetically engineered mosquitoes in the Florida Keys in 2021-2022, as part of an experiment that tests a misguided "solution" to malaria (which is not a problem in Florida), eerily similar to past US government experimentation on black people with pathogens in communities such as Carver Village.
Bill Gates has also called upon the US to pursue bioweapons research, using the usual imperialist argument that the US must develop bioweapons and antidotes to them lest such weapons fall into the hands of reckless "terrorists." Gates has used the Covid pandemic to promote this agenda. In November 2021, Gates called for the formation of a billion dollar per year program in bioweapons research, framed around the question: "You say, OK, what if a bioterrorist brought smallpox to 10 airports? You know, how would the world respond to that?" and adding that "there's naturally-caused epidemics and bioterrorism-caused epidemics that could even be way worse than what we experienced today."
Bill Gates is a major supporter and financial backer of Editas Medicine (see: here and here). Gates' support for Editas, which holds rights over therapeutic uses of CRISPR, is characteristic of Gates' general support for the privatization and marketization of biomedical technologies.
According to OpenPaymentsData, in 2020 Biogen made five payments to MGH that totaled $316,883.

To understand Harvard Business School's staunch support for Israel, one needs only to look at where HBS gets its funding: In 2018, hedge fund billionaire and pro-Israel super-donor Seth Klarman provided Harvard Business School with a $120 million donation, for HBS to use to build "a state-of-the-art conference center." Harvard Business School named the new center "Klarman Hall." Seth Klarman and his wife Beth Klarman are both also members of Harvard Business School's "Board of Dean’s Advisors." Seth Klarman is also an alumnus of Harvard Business School, and HBS frequently highlights Klarman's success as a capitalist in their promotional materials. Between these financial donations and advisory positions at HBS, the Klarmans no doubt have considerable clout with Harvard Business School administration, when it comes to questions of how HBS will relate to Israel and Zionism.

Combined Jewish Philanthropies' website includes a profile on Jonathan Lavine, which states:
For decades, Jonathan and his wife Jeannie have provided consistent support to Combined Jewish Philanthropies, and in recent years increased focus on their investment in Israel, and in the Jewish future." The Lavines’ contributions to CJP's programs, Onward Israel Boston and Alternative Spring Break, help to build the connection that Jewish young adults have with Israel. The Lavines established the Lavine Family Leadership and Service Learning Fund with CJP, which allowed CJP to expand Onward Israel Boston and helped to fund the transformational Alternative Spring Break program. In addition to annual giving, the Lavines donated $1 million in 2017 to support CJP’s renovation efforts.
CJP's profile on Jonathan Lavine further notes:
[T]he Lavines wanted to ensure CJP’s ability to create and launch new programs designed to intensify Jewish young adults’ connection with Israel. In order to do so, they increased their gift to support Onward Israel Boston and Alternative Spring Break, two programs that provide internship and service learning opportunities for local college students who want to make a difference in Israel while gaining valuable leadership experience in the private and non-profit sectors ... “Israel is our homeland and the historic land of our forefathers, but it is also very much a reflection of the Jewish present,” says Jonathan. “We hope that these programs become permanent fixtures in the lives of Boston youth, and build their love and support for the State of Israel.”
[...] The Lavines’ visionary leadership and generous funding allowed CJP to launch Onward Israel Boston last year. This year, they also supported a significant expansion of the program, helping 70 students from Boston — the largest delegation sent by a single community nationwide—to spend this summer learning, working and living in Israel. Students shared their excitement nearly as soon as their plane touched down, tweeting and blogging about their life-changing experiences, with many already planning for a return visit.
The Lavines are also supporting the Alternative Spring Break program, a week-long service learning project based in Boston’s sister city of Haifa. This year, students volunteered for projects that included working with troubled adolescents at the Yemin Orde Youth Village and restoring a heritage site outside of Jerusalem. Participants returned infused with a love of Israel and with new insights on leadership and activism.
Through their private philanthropic foundation, Jonathan and Jeannie Lavine have donated $5,000,000 to Fidelity Charitable, a donor advised fund which anonymously funnels money from wealthy donors into Zionist, white supremacist, anti-Muslim, anti-LGBTQ, and anti-immigrant organizations.

The Western Region Homeland Security Advisory Council (WRHSAC) is one of five "homeland security planning regions" which the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security (EOPSS) established in 2004 to receive funding from the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS). DHS grants for WRHSAC are managed by the Metropolitan Area Planning Council.
