I have a family member who took the shot to keep his job in Alberta, Canada. He didn't check the box saying he consented, and signed it "UNDER DURESS".
They also didn't give him the provincial fact sheet & vax monograph they're required to do, instead they printed some CDC form about covid. Reminder that the CDC is not a Canadian gov't organization but a foreign one.
He lost his job last year and just got this one recently after months of trying. Be mad at the people preying on desperate people, not those who succumb to intense pressure.
Eh, animal comparisons can be fun and poetic and all that, but it runs a little heavy into the essentialism and sometimes overruns important lessons in human nature.
That there's very little coming back from the extremes that most people would consider evil/tyrannical is true (wolves stay wolves as you say), for some it's so strongly inherent that the born different implication of "wolf" fits, although that's more the serial killer archetype. For the power elites willing to inflict undue suffering on millions at a whim, that's generally as much learned/trained lack of empathy as it is inherent, but humans are terrible at unlearning so there's little hope of them ever rekindling any care for their fellow man, it's far more likely that only being overpowered will stop them hurting others at that point.
The point being that wolves Vs sheep conjures an image of inherent incompatibility that when you look at the individuals in question may be obviously false. When you come face to face with them it's important to be sure in advance of your convictions that even though they're actually the kind of person that in a different world with a different past could have been a good friend, the things they have learned and done have made them incompatible and there's almost no going back now.
Because they sure as shit already think you're beneath humane consideration and won't hesitate to do what needs to be done, they wouldn't be in power if they did.
Believe me, one of my goals in life now is to live long enough to see those responsible for what is happening right now suffer for what they're doing.
However now more than ever is the time to decide what one's goals are, and to act with purpose toward those goals. We cannot afford to make very many superfluous moves. What's done is done for your friend for this battle, but there will be many more battles to fight.
If your primary goal is to not be injected, and you don't really care about making a political statement (or you aren't in a position to make one), then probably the simplest option is to simply bribe the nurse giving the injections to shoot it into the garbage can and sign the form saying you got one. Or the HR lady who checks the "passport" and checks your employer's form saying you got one. Or forge the "passport" itself.
The corollary to what I just said above is perhaps your friend in the future will be in a position where he can help a fellow traveler as stated above, and perhaps he can consider how he might make that fellow travel's journey a bit easier than his own was, so to speak.
However one should probably not assume this strategy will work long-term, and if someone goes that route they should probably treat it as a short-term solution to the longer term problem and use the time it buys them to find a longer-term solution.
Doing what your friend did was never going to be anything but be a political statement, the outcome of which was a loss either way it was likely to turn out.
I feel bad for people who are having to make these decisions, and I don't know any way to say this without it sounding callous, but I don't understand what is served by doing that. They either inject you or they don't. If they don't inject you because you didn't sign the form or because they perceive you don't consent to the medical treatment, you still lose your job if it requires an injection. If they do inject you, then that's also a loss condition if your goal was to leave without being injected.
At best, this is evidence for the lawsuit or human rights tribunal. But that doesn't un-inject you.
The way to avoid getting injected is to avoid going to the place where they inject people, standing in the line marked "wait here to be injected", and sitting there while they put the needle in your arm.
