Imagine you took part in administering or mandating genocide, while believing you were saving humanity from a worse outcome, and all the while you thought that if you told people the truth, panic would ensue, so you had to keep everyone calm, reassuring the people of the world as though we were all innocent children who could not handle the truth.
And then, you realized that your well-meaning efforts were, in fact, the very mechanism to depopulate the planet that you were working so hard against (or thought you were).
At this point, if this were the scenario, how would you go about telling the world, "hey world, guess what? Our bad: about 70% of you are gonna die in the next 3-5 years. We, the experts, messed up." -- would you just decide not to tell them, keep us all in the dark because it's hopeless anyway? Keep up the fiction for as long as you can get away with it? And do you think that if you told us the truth now, we would all come, round you all up and give you some street justice? No amnesty.
I don't think they are all read into the entire evil plot. How hard is it to suddenly start telling the truth, when it may even be too late to matter anymore?

Ignorance and incompetence are unacceptable as excuses.
