Danger of delta variant to unvaccinated loved one?

I have a loved one who is vaccine hesitant. They had COVID in March 2020 and believe they have enough natural immunity to be protected, and having read anti-vax literature don't think it's worth the risk to become vaccinated. I'd like to know their risks with the new Delta variant.

My loved one is in their mid-50s and in good health -- no long-haul symptoms from COVID-19 last year -- had fever and classic symptoms but no need for hospitalization. They tend toward conspiratorial thinking, especially suspicious of the government and big business, and have anti-vax friends and reads anti-vax sources. They also have a ton of loved ones and close friends who are vaccinated (like me!). I have fought with them over the safety of the vaccine and have failed to convince them it's safe enough (or safer) for them to get it. Now that my area has reached 70% vaccination, everything is opening up, and I fear their exposure. I know there is a lot of information about COVID-19 spreading among unvaccinated populations, especially with the Delta variant, which now accounts for 10% of my region's COVID-positive results. I'm wondering if there are sources that address the risks to people who have natural immunity? Is it more likely for them to be reinfected with the Delta variant? Anecdotal reports are welcome too.
