The implant is already malfunctioning after a few months. Makes you wonder how many more of these threads will retract over the next following months.

All of them. The body doesn't want foreign materials inside it at any point. You can't just jam wires into your body and expect your immune system to not attack it. The organ interface problem as far as I know has never been solved.

We jam stuff into our body for all sorts of medical things.

Some require rejection meds for life. Others don't.
