Given the Dr Kheriaty was infected last year, wouldn't that mean that even by EU standards, he would be considered the same as a Covid-naive individual?

Yes. And honestly, he probably should be, using the precautionary principle? I don't think there's great data showing that people infected with the ancestral variant have good immunity to Delta. Certainly, a lot of people who'd had the ancestral variant were re-infected with Beta, when there were big outbreaks of that in South America.
