This is modern day Witchcraft Trials and the practice of -- 'indicium aquae'.
It was believed that water rejected servants of the devil and that if a suspected person floated and refused to sink when placed in water it was proof of guilt.
The unvaxxinated are being accused of being Witches and accused of floating, therefore guilty. Taking the vaxx would make us sink to the bottom and be drowned. However, our innocence would be then be manifested.
The ordeal of 'swimming' was endorsed by James I of England, who stated in Daemonologie (1597):
"that God hath appointed ... that the water shall refuse to receive them in her bosome, that have shaken off them the sacred Water of Baptisme, and wilfully refused the benefite thereof."
You summed up my thoughts on this situation perfectly. It's like you read my mind and articulated much more succinctly than I could have. Great comment, thank you Fren!
