When lockdown doesn’t work, the obvious solution is more lockdown.

It depends what the goal is.
Governments gave up on/abandoned the idea of eliminating the virus as New Zealand and others have deciding summer holidays and the return of schools would be more beneficial.
So the goal is to reduce the number of cases and therefore hospitalisations and deaths, pushing them to the other side of a vaccine rollout. By this measure, which I don't agree with I think they should have pushed for the former, then lockdowns are a resounding success but only a sticking plaster to buy time.
