People believe incorrect things all the time, for a variety of reasons. It doesn't mean the truth doesn't exist. Sure, sometimes, there isn't sufficient evidence to reasonably take a side.

But lots of times there is. For example, just because a lot of people now believe Tylenol causes autism doesn't mean we need to both-sides it... the science is pretty clear that it doesn't.

Lots of people can be wrong on this topic, and it should be ok to say that they're wrong. Whether you're an individual, a newspaper, an encyclopedia, or a LLM.
