No toxin itself bypasses shields. Fire a weapon with very low status with toxin at a corpus dude and watch as his health goes down with each shot even when his shields are up. Special bosses may resist this though, i noticed that a while ago eximus got an unneeded serious buff where they actually heavily resist almost all damage, like light infested suddenly resist slash and just barely get a bonus from gas. stuff like that. so maybe proto shield has the buff to not be able to get penetrated if they are considered to be a boss?
