The whole flu-shot thing is a really hit-and-miss proposition. It's based on best guesses as to what will be coming around.
In a good year it's 50% effective. The last on in the US was less than 20% effective. Not too many years ago there was a version that made many people as sick as the flu in terms of aches and pains.
Even when found to be ineffective, it is pushed to the public as the big pharmaceutical companies that make it will only do so if the governments assure them a profit by pushing the vaccines no matter what its effect.
In theory, the people who need it are those who's health condition puts them at risk to the effects of the flu - a century ago, dying from the flu was considered death by natural causes and rather common. People (in the West, at least) are healthy enough to withstand the flu unless they're quite old or infirm.

You need a bit of talent for that, something I'm sadly lacking.

On this Quora post[^], the guy said he uses 6 screens for his daily use, as a programmer. I will say, that he didn't have the ALT + TAB keys or they don't work; where as he claims he doesn't have to press them.
I have used one screen at a time, for everything, everytime! OriginalGriff once wrote about his 2 screens, well that is fair enough I also have a secondary laptop and I use it for chatting purposes if I am working, but 6?

2 works well. Maybe 3 can as well - IDE one one, program / browser on one, and SQL on another. But I agree, 6 is a bit much - over-multi-tasking.

(Sorry if you are not a Windows 10 fan but) Windows 10 supports multiple desktops, you can create one for your girl to let her know you are giving her entire time of yours, and another where you have CodeProject and Visual Studio active.
I say, I don't even need multiple screen I can use multiple desktops.

I'm on 2 (I'm not counting additional devices/machines, just a workstation's screens), now I don't know if I grow accustom to them or what but honestly I feel that if I would go back to a single one I would probably be a lot less efficient... maybe it's just in my head.
Nevertheless I use 2 at work but also at home as well.
Now regarding the 6, hmmm it seem quite unnecessary to go that far... but then again who knows... maybe I should try it out in order to say for sure

Right, 2 is enough. What can a person do with 6 screens in a programming environment? Visual Studio can handle debugging and all in one screen.

I think you mean:
1) IDE
2) Google
3) Cat pictures
4) Cat videos
5) Cat pictures again
6) More cat pictures (and Pr0n)

I develop (amongst other things) web-based responsive apps: So on my 5 screens:
Netbeans IDE for editing debugging
Web browser showing running app
portrait screen for documentation / program notes. todo and bug lists
one screen holds mail client/internet browser/OS taksbar/menu etc
last screen displays live connection to the service the app is interacting with so I can see that it has behaved correctly.
I used to use multiple screens etc, but the contect switch interferes with looking at one thing to see the result of another's actions etc, or reading documentation whilst editing.
Before I was able to have multiple screens, then I just had many printouts/books etc strewn across the desk, so all that has happened really is that the screens have replaced the paper.
Having said that, I do also work quite often on my single screen laptop, and just context switch, but it's nothing like as productive. Sometimes I use the laptop as a sixth screen though if I'm testing things like VPN connections between sites and need to have a separate route to each end to view behaviour...

6 is too much for programming, but applications use them regularly.
6 is mostly used in medical applications.
An application for 4 is an aircraft simulator, where:
2 - front windshields,
1 - each for the side screens.
Addendum: I like the concept of spaces on Macs, where you just navigate from screen to screen, looking at one screen all the while.

Medical applications, eh? They save lives, programming on other end, destroys sole existence of life. 6 screens of programming, total waste! You can get your life destroyed with one screen too.
