I can only attest to my own personal experience about that as a non-Biden, Trump supporter the second time around (wrote a name in when he was up against Hillary in 2012 as I am a clan leader of the “never Hillary tribe” lol)
I did not know that gain-of-function was even a “thing” before 1.5 years ago. I did not know that GoF was something extremely risky in which the US helped fund, and then stopped, and then started again until I read your link about it. So, not all pro-Trump types are unwilling to acknowledge that the funding started back up under Trump.
Most likely, a majority of Americans from various political persuasions were unaware, that is of course outside of a much smaller admirable group of “exceptional seekers of knowledge” in which I can only strive but never belong.
Being unaware is understandable. I doubt very many were aware but the funding was started back up under Trump after being stopped under Obama.
