Can cubes removed by Events, the Medic's automatic removal or other abilities go into the lab?

No. Only cubes removed by the Treat Disease action can be samples. That excludes Events like Rapid Vaccine Deployment, the Containment Specialist's removal, the Medic's automatic clearing of cured diseases, and the Virologist's discard ability (those cubes go back to the supply). A Medic who uses the Treat Disease action can still sample one cube.
