Anything more concrete?
No, this is circumstantial evidence from people who not only believe that this ebola outbreak came from a lab, but also that COVID-19 came from a lab, both of which are widely regarded as conspiracy theories.
They aren't conspiracy theories, at least, not according to the US Government and Biden's DoE:

Circumstantial evidence, not conclusive either way, but clearly the Biden administration feels the evidence is weighted slightly more on the side you just called a conspiracy theory.
Which again, is all they allege for ebola, but unlike the co-author of that first paper I linked, I don't have a PhD in virology, so what do I know.
Someone else posted that link as well, see my response: https://midwest.social/comment/11853764.
Having a PhD doesn’t automatically make someone a reliable source, and the site it is published on isn’t exactly a respected journal.
