Is the new CKM syndrome caused by the COVID-19 vaccine spike protein?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : CKM Syndrome Is Caused By Vaccine Spike Protein!
People are sharing an article (archive) by Natural News, which suggested that the new CKM syndrome is caused by the COVID-19 vaccine spike protein!
Here is an excerpt from the long and (intentionally?) confusing article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Truth : CKM Syndrome Is Not Caused By Vaccine Spike Protein!
This is yet another example of anti-vaccine fake news created or promoted by Natural News, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : CKM Syndrome Is New Term For Existing Pathophysiology
Let me start by pointing out that CKM syndrome is a new term coined in October 2023 by the American Heart Association for an existing pathophysiology.
CKM (cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic) syndrome, which is also known as cardiometabolic renal syndrome (CMR), describes the interconnections of chronic kidney disease, Type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
As this letter in the Journal of Medicine, Surgery, and Public Health explains, CKM syndrome is a common pathophysiology, rather than a disease. The AHA synopsis also calls it [an existing] pathophysiology.
In other words – it’s a new term for an existing human condition that has existed probably since humans have been around, and has nothing to do with COVID-19, or the vaccines.
Fact #2 : AMA Never Said Vaccine Spike Protein Causes CKM Syndrome
As mentioned earlier, CKM syndrome describes an existing interconnection of three existing human diseases.
It is therefore not surprising that the American Heart Association did not once claim or suggest that COVID-19 vaccines cause CKM syndrome. After all, it has existed (albeit unnamed) long before COVID-19 vaccines were invented!
In fact, the AMA specifically pointed out that CKM syndrome is caused by existing risk factors:
CKM syndrome most commonly originates from excess or dysfunctional adipose tissue or both.
Dysfunctional adipose tissue, particularly visceral adipose tissue, secretes proinflammatory and prooxidative products that damage arterial, cardiac, and kidney tissues.
There is nothing in the AHA synopsis to even suggest CKM syndrome has nothing to do with COVID-19 vaccines. In fact, the words “vaccine” and “vaccination” were not mentioned even once in the entire synopsis.
Unsurprisingly, Natural News did not provide any evidence to back up its suggestion that CKM syndrome was caused by the spike proteins created by COVID-19 vaccines!

Fact #3 : CKM Syndrome Study Was From 2011-2020
In addition, I should point out that the JAMA study which found that nearly 90% of people had at least stage one of CKM syndrome, was conducted based on data of 10,000 adults between 2011 and 2020, which was before mass vaccinations with COVID-19 vaccines occurred in 2021.
In other words – the CKM syndrome study had nothing to do with COVID-19 vaccines. So why would anyone claim or suggest a connection between CKM syndrome and COVID-19 vaccines??? Who would be so evil as to mislead people???
Fact #4 : CKM Syndrome Has Nothing To Do With Vaccines
The official AHA definition of CKM health stages also clearly show that CKM syndrome has nothing to do with vaccines of any kind:
Stage 0 : No CKM health risk factors
Individuals without overweight/obesity, metabolic risk factors (hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, MetS, diabetes), CKD, or subclinical/clinical CVD
Stage 1: Excess and/or dysfunctional adiposity
Individuals with overweight/obesity, abdominal obesity, or dysfunctional adipose tissue, without the presence of other metabolic risk factors or CKD
– BMI ≥25 kg/m2 (or ≥23 kg/m2 if Asian ancestry)
– Waist circumference ≥88/102 cm in women/men (or if Asian ancestry, ≥80/90 cm in women/men) and/or
– Fasting blood glucose ≥100–124 mg/dL or HbA1c between 5.7% and 6.4%*
The following conceptual diagram for pathophysiology underlying cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome also shows that COVID-19 vaccines have no involvement at all!
So why would anyone ever claim or suggest that spike proteins from the COVID-19 vaccines cause CKM syndrome???

Fact #5 : COVID-19 Infections Produce Far More Spike Proteins!
I should also point out that COVID-19 vaccines do not multiply, and can only induce a limited number of cells to produce the spike protein.
The SARS-CoV-2 virus, on the other hand, is peppered with spike proteins and creates new viruses with spike proteins with every cell it infects. On top of that, the SARS-CoV-2 virus can spread through the body, delivering spike proteins wherever it goes.
If the spike proteins are the problem, as the Natural News article suggests, then a COVID-19 infection poses a far greater threat than the COVID-19 vaccine!
Fact #6 : Natural News Is Known For Fake News
Natural News is a far-right, anti-vaccination conspiracy theory and fake news website that is known for publishing / promoting pseudoscience, disinformation, and far-right extremism.
Writing in the journal Vaccine, Anna Kata identified Natural News as one of numerous websites spreading “irresponsible health information”. According to John Banks, Natural News founder Mike Adams uses “pseudoscience to sell his lies” and is “seen as generally a quack and a shill by science bloggers.”
Dr. David Gorski called Natural News “one of the most wretched hives of scum and quackery on the Internet,” and the most “blatant purveyor of the worst kind of quackery and paranoid anti-physician and anti-medicine conspiracy theories anywhere on the Internet”.
Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should never share anything from Natural News. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:
- Was shocking Autism-COVID vaccine connection just confirmed?!
- Is Canada rolling out Social Credit System for Bank Accounts?!
- Does FDA Document Prove COVID Vaccine Shedding Is Real?!
