You're splitting hairs in that he (and to be fair, it was an example) is a mathematician not a doctor or an epidemiologist.
Using mathematical methods to model infections works to an extent. But this is where he (and Pagel, who is no less intelligent) fail to see that immunity doesn't always fit models, especially when behaviour changes too.
In any case, I don't see how anything in KY's current research has much to do with a cv
