What I don't understand, and I'm all ears, is the arguments. Why is it tyranny?
Tyranny is what China does in the name of "COVID safety", ie taking Shanghai residents and forcibly confining residents to their apartment buildings and even in some cases, euthanizing their pets.

China is the outlier, we already know the CCP was horribly tyrannical.
Perhaps developed countries would fare a bit better: Forced vaccinations, vaccine passports, and removal of private enterprise under the guise of "lockdown regulations," driven by unscientific and unsubstantiated claims about COVID spread.
Read here, a literature review and metanalysis of COVID-19 lockdown strategy:

The politicians knew this from the start, but they let their own personal fears and emotions dictate COVID policy.
And even if it is, how's supposed a society cope with a virus?
Protect those who are vulnerable. The virus does not affect a geriatric the same way it would effect the young.
