CPR does not resuscitate to begin with. At best it delays ischemia and thus extends the window for electrical defibrillation leading to full or near-full recovery. But the defibrillation does the work, and that is only for VF/VT arrest. If it's asystole or PEA then CPR is just performative, doesn't improve recovery.

So non-resuscitation just means non-VF/VT.

Might this microvascular damage also explain the sudden increase in preeclampsia? https://www.newyorker.com/science/annals-of-medicine/why-a-life-threatening-pregnancy-complication-is-on-the-rise

Yep. Can’t restart the heart if the veins and/or capillaries are shot.

I believe that the sp!ke pr0te!n might be impairing local thyroid hormone metabolism in the vascular endothelia.

The same impairment happens in obesity:

And triiodothyronine (T3 thyroid hormone) seems to reduce endothelial damage following myocardial infarction:
