Kennedy's granddaughter diagnosed with terminal cancer: reaction to cousin's policy

Diagnosis and treatment of Tatyana Schlossberg

Bright and renowned journalist Tatyana Schlossberg, granddaughter of John F. Kennedy, shared her difficult battle with terminal cancer. According to her, she has less than a year left to live. Moreover, her daughter Caroline Kennedy received a complex diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia. This sad information was reported by The Guardian.

Tatyana learned about her condition after giving birth to her second child in 2024. In her address, she admitted that receiving the cancer diagnosis came as a real shock: «I was in the pool, being pregnant, and felt great. I had no health issues. I always thought of myself as one of the strongest people in the world».

Criticism of policy and condemnation of Robert Kennedy

During her treatment, Tatyana expressed sharp criticism regarding the policies of her cousin - Robert F. Kennedy Jr., former Secretary of Health. She voiced her dissatisfaction with his anti-vaccine views and his decision to cut funding for medical research, which harms patients, including herself.

It is worth noting that during his presidency, Trump supported Robert Kennedy Jr. with known anti-vax views as the head of the Department of Health and Human Services. He stated that Americans have been «too long subjected to misinformation on health issues».

With terminal cancer and leukemia in the Kennedy-Schlossberg family, a bitter period and difficult struggle with diseases loom over the West Coast of the USA. In this situation, it is still hard to find positive moments, and confusion and outrage arise from the negative consequences of political decisions in the field of healthcare.
