But the argument was that "the vaccines are too unproven so we should not trust them" and the solution is to take a medication that has seen orders of magnitude less testing and is known to be toxic (there are reports of large increases to calls to poison control because of this)?!

Ivermectin has been on the market for decades, it's side effects are well understood. It's used all the time around the world.
Toxic controls was very unfortunate events of people consuming veterinarian formulations designed for animals that weigh 1000+ lbs and overdosing. That means only that there is enough desperate people, and very few physicians willing to supervise the treatment.
I would be far more concerned about it's efficacy and people getting treatment that they think will help, when in fact it does not.
