What makes you think he was responsible for the flu in 1918?

He invoked Typhon by means of a Greek curse (presumably his own writing, adapted from older works) and specifically names Mathers as the target. The curse appears in his publication of the Goetia. Typhon is often identified with diseases, and major ailments are named after him.

Crowley sought to make a fundamental change in the way people approach the subject of spirituality, aside from curses and ancient demonology. The New Age movement in almost every place has some origin in Crowley or in someone who was using his Magick, and for good or ill it has had a large effect on society. His views on women, sexuality, recreational drugs, and personal control over the mind are now commonplace where they were not during his lifetime. As a magician he accomplished many of his basic goals despite their dreadful consequences.
