It's like David says, you can't really prove that the VM does not in some way contain natural language. It's like proving a negative.
How I would put it is this: we know almost for certain that the way Voynichese is written, the way characters form patterns, the way words do or do not form patterns, does not correspond to the way other written language behaves. But as David says, there are many plausible possibilities for some linguistic meaning to still be in the text.
