Thank goodness I'm not trying to speak for everyone then, just for myself, because it doesn't seem like tyranny.

Do you believe forcing women to wear burkhas is tyrannical?

The forcing of wearing masks is a tyrannical action, whether it's for a 'good cause' or not.

Some people view the ends do not justify tyrannical means.

Tyrannical means " Unjust or oppressive governmental power.", so the justification for the mandate is important, not just the fact that a mandate exists.

A mandate with a good justification is authoritarian but not tyrannical.
