I find it important to note that "believed" suggests that their beliefs were based on as-of-yet insubstantial data to prove this was the case. Not that this really stopped this hypothesis from being explored in the public (even people like Trump jumped on it). The way social media works today, I find it reasonable not to share all of your beliefs without gathering enough proof to either prove or disprove something. I completely believe in open debate, but that's not what modern media provides: it usually goes for the most sensationalist angle it can get. And it leads to overarching reactions from the public when none is needed.
