Obviously, I've not received a cent and no money goes between the two countries. Worse, the irony is that we were some of the very first people to actually raise the lab escape issue, although I obviously can't say that.

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

I think the local right-wing paper here (The Telegraph) are going to a run a story saying that I am in the pay of China which is why I am against the lab escape theory. Will get my lawyers ready...

"we were some of the very first people to actually raise the lab escape issue" - we were _the_ first to take this seriously - and so we did. And our conclusions are solid and, importantly, stick 100% to the science.
