I’m pretty sure this is entirely about covid, and as far as religion goes it’s pretty sensible. Priest looks catholic given the robe, stolle (iirc easter season stolles are always worn in baptisms), and general vibe. I assume the Magesterium gave specific instructions on how to perform sacraments during the covid lock downs. This wasn’t catholicism’s first pandemic and they’ve already done the whole “make it worse to beg to be spared” thing that a lot of protestants did during covid.
If it was about immunocompromisation the priest would likely be scrubbed down and using freshly blessed freshly sanitized water.
I’m pretty sure it’s “holy water” in a squirt gun. As if aquatic born pathogens don’t exist.

I mean, religion is kind of a disease.
