“this is bald-faced tyranny. I am forced to have this shot or lose my job”
The first instance that I know of this sort of thing is when General Washington forced his men to take a smallpox vaccination during the Revolutionary War. He had seen what smallpox could do to an army.

Is this your idea of humor?
Then and now, if you are in the military, they can make you take just about anything they want you to - risk v. benefit. High risk for death for the majority of people, that’s one thing. Very low risk for death for the majority, that’s another story. Death from flu is usually due to complications that lead to pneumonia. If you have a high-risk patient, everyone should put a mask on regardless of whether they had a flu shot. A simple cold can take such patients down.
