I have refused and will continue to refuse to see unvaccinated relatives, OP. I tell them that they should get the vaccine. One  was stubborn and died from Covid complications. Her son has now said he will get vaccinated. Another relative, who has been anti-vaccine and anti-establishment for decades now, prefers to die rather than get a vaccine - at least she's consistent.

My husband and I are doctors and scientists. My husband works on Covid-19. We have seen first hand the devastation wrought on the medical and nursing professions, from trauma and PTSD generated by overwork and the psychological effects of knowing that part of the population does not care about them and has put them at risk for two years now. So many doctors and nurses have died, even while taking the best precautions and getting vaccinated, just because they are in a high-risk environment. They did not sign up for, or conceive of,  a world where people would refuse the most elemental of protections. They should not be expected to grin and bear it, forgive and forget.

No. I will never see unvaccinated relatives.

We have traveled internationally when cases were low, with N95s / AirBnB / no dining indoors, etc, all necessary precautions, to see vaccinated family. We are out and about and adapt our behavior to case numbers.

But I will never knowingly do business with or be friends with people who refuse to consider other people's safety.
