Here's an equivalent expression with the negation factored out:
not ("vn" in line or "vt" in line or line == "\n")

If you have a lot of tests all using the same operator (e.g. "in"),
you can use "any" (OR) or "all" (AND) with a generator expression:
vals = ["vn", "vt", "vu", "vv", "vw", "vx", "vy", "vz"]
wanted = [line for line in lines if not any(v in line for v in vals)]
