I doubt the statistic is even true. These are the same people who peddled the bullshit lie that Trump had recommended people take bleach. They really have no honor and do not feel tethered to reality at all.
Plus what is a five fold increase in calls? You are assuming it means people convulsing from the drug. But it can mean just inquiries about safe dosage, or have I fucked up because I hear that veterinarian who is incredibly the CEO of a human, convicted drug company, telling me I am going to die because I too it. These vague statistics are examples of how propagandists manipulate statistics to create alarm and shape a narrative. Note that even if there was a five fold increase ** in calls ** to poison control centers. there is no mention of there being an increase in deaths or complications or even an increase in the number of people attending emergency rooms, which suggests that the calls were so trivial that they did not require medical intervention.
In any case pharmaceuticals are poison in general. The fact that so much attention is being paid to ivermectin is because it is cheap and does not make profits for the drug companies the way other drugs or vaccines do. Keep in mind that over 100,000 Americans die each year from the side effects of correctly prescribed and correctly taken medications.
Politico or NPR, both leftist propaganda tools, are notoriously inaccurate when it comes to Trump.
As far as the bleach hoax is concerned. This is what he actually said:
Trump spoke about the role he thought disinfectants could play in tackling an infection caused by the virus during a now infamous April 23 briefing. But he didn’t say people should drink bleach.
His comments came after William Bryan, the undersecretary for science and technology at the Department of Homeland Security, presented a study that found sun exposure and cleaning agents like bleach can kill the virus when it lingers on surfaces.
He then said:
"It wouldn’t be through injections, almost a cleaning and sterilization of an area. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t work, but it certainly has a big effect if it’s on a stationary object."
And
"....so it’d be interesting to check that, so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. "
Although the propaganda machine wants to make Trump sound like a madman, various medical companies have studied 1) the use of light such as UV to sterilize lungs of disease and 2) the use of disinfectant aerosols to kill bacteria and viruses in the lungs, both of which is what he was talking about.
What Trump was talking about was picking up on the idea that light and disinfectants killed the virus and alluding to these delivery methods.
You'll also note that he expressly said that they would have to be delivered by medical personnel but the shameless propaganda whores turn this in an incitement to go drink bleach, when a few minutes of googling proves otherwise.
You should be worried about how unscrupulous the propaganda is, and how detached from reality it actually is. If they lie about these sorts of things they lie about everything. Hint: ivermectin might actually work.
If it's so easily adjusted why was there a 5 fold increase in poison control calls related to the based paste?

Trump did tell people to drink bleach.

Not inquiries about dosage, overdose.
Your reality isn't as tethered as you think.

Similarly, the delivery of aerosol disinfectants to treat lung disease is a proven and known technique: https://www.aarc.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/aersol-guides-for-hcp.pdf

Everything you said doesn't matter because people did indeed consume bleach because of his musings.
During January–March 2020, poison centers received 45,550 exposure calls related to cleaners (28,158) and disinfectants (17,392), representing overall increases of 20.4% and 16.4% from January–March 2019 (37,822) and January–March 2018 (39,122), respectively https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6916e1.htm?s_cid=mm6916e1_e&deliveryName=USCDC_921-DM26275
