Twice as likely as whom?

Maybe "twice as likely" as NOT? Sounds ominous, huh?
I've got life insurance and death insurance. Life is just a flip of a coin anyway. Live or die, not your choice.

Is he convinced to get the vaccination?

Such a misleading title to that article.
The chances of reinfection from Covid are extremely low: Survivors of Covid-19 are significantly less likely than the rest of the population to catch the novel coronavirus—but their risk of reinfection is not zero, according to a study published Wednesday in JAMA Internal Medicine.

So if you recovered from Covid and then got your shot you are twice as likely not to be reinfected. But if you didn’t get your shot, your chances of reinfection are still lower than the rest of the population…

To make you feel better and safer? I hate to burst your bubble but covid is not going away. It's going to be endemic just like the flu, and new variants will probably require booster shots every year. It will probably become less deadly over time, and maybe in a few hundred years it will become similar to other coronaviruses and cause common colds.

Even if every man woman and child in USA were vaccinated, vaccine resistant variants like Delta will develop in other parts of the world and in this modern world, slip back into America.

I don't dispute any of your claims... but let me tell you why I, someone who had COVID, got the vaccine...

I have friends who are very elderly. I could never live with myself if I gave anyone COVID. So... I got the vaccine because I will take every precaution to protect my friends.

My sister has a few medical situations that prevent her from being able to get the vaccine. She has also had COVID-19, was very sick for a couple of months, and is immuno-compromised and could end up in the hospital if she ends up with the Delta variant.

For her, and for anyone else in that situation, I'm more than happy to be vaccinated. AND wear a mask inside in crowded areas if asked to by a business establishment, or even if I personally am feeling uncomfortable by the crowd.

For anyone who -chooses- not to vaccinate, eh. Not too concerned if they get sick. It's their choice, afterall. They just need to stay away from my sister, or they'll be answering to me.

That statistic is bogus since 99.3% of all those who contracted COVID did not survive.

And people refusing the vaccine should be ashamed of their cowardice and self centeredness.
If you don't want to get the vaccine stay away from public places.

"The rest of the population" meaning those who are not vaccinated yet; that makes sense.

Even according to the CDC, the results of that one Kentucky study even goes against their lab findings. Every other study available shows that those who have recovered from Covid have better immunity than those who have been vaccinated. But that one study in Kentucky fits the CDC/media narrative better, so that’s the one that gets promoted…

Unless you can provide verifiable proof of that number, I don't believe it. I know at least a dozen family members that have had the Covid virus and they ALL survived. I guess you are going to tell me that they are all exceptions to the norm.
