My understanding is the Remdesivir Treatment Group were infected with ebola and recieved remdesivir. 53% of them died. If the person had a very high level of the virus and recieved remdesivir then 86% died.
This page says the mortality rate for ebola ranges from about 40-60%, so that 86% seems high. But maybe they were already that much sicker when they started the treatment?
I don't think the article is a smoking gun and wouldn't use it as an example of remdesivir's risks.
