In a gut-wrenching New Yorker essay, Tatiana Schlossberg has just dropped the mic on her cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and trust us, it’s a family feud for the ages.
While battling a rare and aggressive blood cancer, the 35-year-old environmental journalist didn’t just share her heartbreaking medical journey – she also took some serious shots at RFK Jr’.s controversial tenure as Health and Human Services secretary.
A Family Divided
Schlossberg, who is facing a terminal diagnosis, pulled zero punches in her essay. She watched from her hospital bed as her cousin – with zero medical or public health experience – was confirmed to a position that directly impacts millions of Americans’ healthcare. Talk about family drama with real-world consequences.
Personal and Political
Beyond her cancer treatments, Schlossberg called out Kennedy’s anti-vaccine stance and devastating budget cuts to medical research. She specifically highlighted how his policies could potentially leave her, and countless others, immunocompromised and at greater risk.
A Heartbreaking Reality
Amidst the political critique, Schlossberg’s most profound moments came when discussing her children. Knowing she might not get to see her daughter grow up or watch her son create lasting memories, her essay is a raw, honest exploration of facing mortality while trying to create meaning.
This isn’t just a family squabble – it’s a powerful testament to how personal health intersects with political decisions, and a devastating critique of anti-science rhetoric from a woman facing her own mortality.
