Strongly opposed unless in a very localized circumstaces. I am afraid of the precendent the lockdowns have  set up and once the government obtains more power it is very rare for the government to give it up.

Also, there was a certain amount of goal post moving and seeing phrases like, "STAY AT HOME UNTIL COVID IS ERADICATED!", "WE MUST STOP ANY SPREAD OF THIS VIRUS!", "ZOMG!!! WE NEED MORE LOCKDOWNS THERE WAS A BREAK THROUGH VACCINE CASE!!" made me even more resistent to lockdowns.

And also all the liberals cheering on lockdowns could shooting themselves in the foot in one of their major public policies: economic inequality. Lockdowns obviously exacerbate inequality.

Also, I was opposed based on the logistics of enforcing wide scale lock downs.
