I don't think the Council was ignorant. Obstructive and annoying, yes, but not ignorant. They try to keep the peace, and the Terminus Systems is filled with enough mercs to make good on the threats that the Weyrloc Clanspeaker spouted (you know, butchering turians, Citadel on a one-way trip to a sun [Note: I've activated the Interrupt by now], enslavement of salarians, etc.)

Besides, immortal alien race of sentient life-forms hibernating outside the galaxy. Think about it. Sounds far-fetched, doesn't it? If anything, a LOT of stuff gets swept under the rug in real life, to avoid panic in the masses.

For example, if someone ran up to you in the street and started babbling that they saw our doom at the hands of some cosmic force, you'd probably just push him aside and keep walking. Similar principle. Just because one person believes it, doesn't mean others will as well.
