Only if it penetrates a cell.
Asbestos is cancer-causing because it damages cell membranes and interferes with their normal function, and the way it actually does this is still poorly understood. We're rapidly coming to understand that cells aren't just a sac of gloop with a nucleus and some other bits inside, but rather an incredibly complex web of structures, which appear to be primarily electrical in nature.
But anyway, everything you've collated is still at the meme stage. Not even China could have developed them to a point of widespread testing (covert or otherwise) because, and I want to stress this quite powerfully, the technology to build things like nanowires is still at the "this is interesting" stage in western labs, and chinese labs, for all their funding, are shit in comparison. Small-scale prototyping is all that has happened, with no clear path to manufacture on even small scale, never mind the mass-produced commodity scale necessary to distribute to a large population.
Musk's pigborg demo is crude and, frankly, not all that far different from technology that has existed for years. The only difference is that he's applied it with a little more finesse - which, admittedly, is all it takes to iterate to more advanced technologies. But it's still just plain old wires, with a fairly invasive implantation method.
If this sort of technology were to be introduced on a mass scale, it would be maybe 30 years from now. Can they keep us in pods that long?
A year ago I would have said no. Today...
I said one might be able to alter genes or synthesize viruses in someone with something like this, but that’s actually very hard. Synthesizing genetic material from scratch inside the body is a tall order indeed. Normally, it’s copy-pasted from pre-existing genetic material. You can’t just link guanine, adenine, thymine and cytosine in any order you want... unless perhaps you forced the ribosomes to synthesize some kind of designer protein that could do exactly that. Oh dear.
What I’m imagining is something where nanowires don’t just stimulate nervous tissue electrically, they actually integrate into a cell as a pseudo-organelle and hijack the other organelles, commanding ribosomes to build proteins of any amino acid sequence as they transit the endoplasmic reticulum, commanding the mitochondria, et cetera. There are hints that they intend to stimulate organelles with these things and change their behavior, but nothing concrete in their papers, just blurbs in news articles. I have absolutely no idea how they would do that with electricity. It has to be bullshit. I mean, I hope it’s bullshit.

Silicon nanowires are biocompatible, highly conductive, and so thin they are essentially one-dimensional. Inside human cells, they could potentially be used to do a lot of things. They could record the electrical communication between structures inside the cell—signals passed from one organelle to another. They could electrically stimulate those organelles for therapeutic purposes.

Nanowires of the type Charles Lieber worked with are hard to make. You have to take a silicon wafer and either chemically etch them down or grow them from the bottom up. The resulting nanowires then have to be “combed” off of the surface. Think tightly-packed noodles of spaghetti sticking up from a solid sheet of pasta, like this:

After that, I assume there would be a quality-control process to check for irregularities. Based on what I’ve seen, it may be possible to tune or dope nanowires differently along their length to create an electrical circuit. What I’m picturing is a device with an RF harvesting inductor end and a field-effect transistor on the other end, perhaps with a regulator or memory latch in the middle. Kinda questionable electrical configuration, considering that both ends are just floating in juice. A back diode can act as an inductor, rectifier, and one-way valve, I believe. Could it interact with electron donors and acceptors? Redox molecules and the like? Maybe. I don't know.
I found Professor Lieber’s papers:
He’s been working on these nanowires since 1998, when he tried developing a laser ablation process to make some. Then, he started working on them in earnest around 2002. In 2019, he published a paper about using nanowires to create something like a neural lace.
Like I said, the electrodes used in Neuralink are huge and primitive by comparison, damaging the brain as they’re jammed into the tissues. A nanowire could harmlessly enter a neuron and reside inside it. Some of these other papers describe these silicon nanowires as having no long-term inflammatory effects, which is very important if they plan to use them for mind-machine interfaces.
Now this is some creepy shit:
I saved hundreds of these. If they get taken down, I'm willing to rehost them somewhere else. People need to see this shit, and consider the possible implications of it.
According to the little rolling banner at the bottom, they have support from ONR, DARPA, AFOSR, NIH, MITRE, etc.

This shit glows brighter than the sun. What the hell are the Chinese using this shit for? Why did they bribe Lieber to get a piece of his action? What the hell are they making?
Realistically, I think people are right when they say that much of this is at least 30 to 80 years away from being implemented. On the other hand, there are so many perverse little hints that military black projects could be further along in this same field, in shit that's unpublished and unseen.
If they could use these things to synthesize DNA or RNA inside a cell (very difficult; I can't even imagine how you'd go about making a protein to do that, or command it to arrange G A T C in an arbitrary sequence) or synthesize any protein inside a cell, do you think they'd tell us? Fuck no. That's mad scientist shit. If they could do that, they could do anything. They could cure cancer. Hell, they could make someone physically immortal. You know how people's telomeres shorten as they age? They could lengthen them arbitrarily, or even synthesize whole replacement DNA, all while checking for and eliminating tumor cells.
They could also do just about anything to one's genes or one's germline. They could create strands of RNA to load into Cas9 and then CRISPR one's germ cells. This could have beneficial effects or negative effects depending on what they do with it. For instance, a lot of people with heightened aggression supposedly have a mutation in Monoamine Oxidase-A (though the links are not conclusive; that's another thing I find concerning about all this, behavioral genetics can be kinda bullshit at times, and if people start making genome edits to humans based on shoddy research, we are in a world of shit). Imagine if they tried pacifying people's offspring by changing that gene, for instance. Imagine if they tried enhancing the intelligence of their children by changing genes related to IQ. Caste system, anyone?
Synthesizing genetic material from scratch is hard. Very hard. Viruses and cells don't do that. They copy it from previous strands. Much easier. The nucleus of every cell is packed with chromatin that basically has all your blueprints, and the proteins wind it out and say "I'm gonna pull this piece of blueprint and make a copy", just like digging through a file cabinet. Then, the ribosomes build more proteins based on those blueprints. It's very much like a tiny 3D printer. Viruses hijack this printer by dumping their genetic material into a cell, and the cell takes it up and starts making that bullshit instead of the proteins it is supposed to make. The reason why DNA is amenable to copying after being unzipped into RNA is because its opposing strand always has to go in the same order. Again, building RNA from nucleotides without a pre-existing template is a bitch.
Aging and death in humans is not a single process, but a collection of processes. Shortening of telomeres, accumulation of "junk" like amyloid plaques and old, decrepit cells, etc. If you could clear out the crap while synthesizing replacement genetic material, you could arbitrarily lengthen someone's lifespan. Also, imagine if two-way communication between neurons and computer hardware was possible with brain-computer interfaces. You could, theoretically, build an "exocortex" to try and expand brain function. There are some problems with this. Science has yet to solve the hard problem of consciousness. We don't know what the hell consciousness and qualia are, or if it is even possible for a computer to be self-aware. See also, Orch-OR theory, and Christof Koch's book "The Feeling of Life Itself".
If a nanowire could indeed act as a bioelectric pseudo-organelle, organizing intracellular behavior according to the whims of an outside controller, the possibilities are almost too horrifying to contemplate. It's beyond sci-fi. This is Pandora's Box. Once they open it, we're gonna see some crazy-ass shit.
People like George Soros don't want to die. They want to be eternally young. Think about the trillions of dollars these people have embezzled. Think about what they're trying to do. If they pull this off, then the rest of us are expendable. They could use the nanowires to instruct our brains to cut off key sex hormones and make us infertile. They could do it selectively, by ethnic group or class. After that, the 500,000,000 population limit on the Georgia Guidestones is well within reach. The racial and class composition could be whatever they desire. People have been idiotically giving away their genetic material to places like 23andMe for years. Of course the Elites would be interested in that data, and how to weaponize it against us.
This sounds pretty schizo, doesn't it? And yet, people like Klaus Schwab have openly stated transhumanist goals, so it's clear that they're not fucking around. They really want to do shit like this.
We need to think about what they're planning, and what the implications are, and how close they are to realizing their goals. It could be decades from now. It could be tomorrow. We don't know how far along they are. We don't know what they've kept hidden in black projects. For all we know, these things are much closer than we think, or at least much closer than publicly-available information would indicate.
Did I really just uncover a conspiracy to enslave and depopulate the entire human race and turn the Elites into immortal demigods? Fucking hell.
