Technically, they are right. No pandemic ever started from a lab.
But the 2007 British foot and mouth disease outbreak indeed started from a lab. Fortunately this disease can be controlled fairly well as long as you are willing to slaughter anything in wide circles around the case clusters. So, no global pandemic.

A similar human disease would be much harder to stop.
