Katherine Schwarzenegger publicly blasted cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr.\u2019s healthcare cuts after another member of their famous Kennedy dynasty revealed she is battling terminal cancer.<\/p>\n

Schwarzenegger on Sunday rallied behind her \u201cextraordinary cousin,\u201d former President John F. Kennedy\u2019s granddaughter Tatiana Schlossberg, for her New Yorker essay<\/a> detailing her harrowing fight with acute myeloid leukemia.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am and continue to be grateful for all the doctors and nurses helping her and encourage you to read her words about how the state of the country, the cuts and uncertainty, impacts and terrifies those in medicine and receiving treatment like Tatiana,\u201d wrote the daughter of John F. Kennedy\u2019s niece, Maria Shriver, and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger on Instagram.<\/p>\n

Her message aligned her squarely with Schlossberg, who used her emotional essay to criticize their cousin, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., for straining the very healthcare system she depends on.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I spent more and more of my life under the care of doctors, nurses, and researchers striving to improve the lives of others, I watched as Bobby cut nearly a half billion dollars for research into mRNA vaccines,\u201d Schlossberg wrote in her essay, reflecting on the worries that arose after her cousin\u2019s swearing-in as health secretary.<\/p>\n

\u201cI watched from my hospital bed as Bobby, in the face of logic and common sense, was confirmed for the position, despite never having worked in medicine, public health, or the government,\u201d the mother of two wrote.<\/p>\n

Schlossberg, 35, revealed on Saturday that she has been diagnosed with the cancer following the birth of her daughter in May 2024, and has been given less than a year to live.<\/a><\/p>\n

Schwarzenegger\u2019s post came after her mother also praised<\/a> the essay as an \u201code to all the doctors and nurses who toil on the frontlines of humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n

The essay and the Kennedy family\u2019s responses come as RFK Jr. admitted<\/a> in a New York Times interview that he personally instructed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to change their website to state that the claim that vaccines do not cause autism is \u201cnot an evidence-based claim,\u201d despite an overwhelming number of studies showing otherwise. <\/p>\n

RFK Jr. has faced criticism from many in the Kennedy family over his views and political stance, including his younger brother, Maxwell Taylor Kennedy, who slammed<\/a> him for undermining their father Robert F. Kennedy\u2019s legacy. Kennedy Sr. was assassinated on June 6, 1968, when the health secretary was 14 years old.<\/p>\n

\u201cBobby is a known skeptic of vaccines, and I was especially concerned that I wouldn\u2019t be able to get mine again, leaving me to spend the rest of my life immunocompromised, along with millions of cancer survivors, small children, and the elderly,\u201d Schlossberg writes in her essay, describing the fears her cousin\u2019s position has instilled in her.<\/p>\n

The daughter of Caroline Kennedy, the only surviving child of the late President John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy, published her essay on the anniversary of JFK\u2019s assassination, which occurred when her mother was five years old.<\/p>\n

Schlossberg highlighted that her family\u2014her older sister Rose, 37, her younger brother Jack, 32, and her father Edwin, 80\u2014have been \u201craising my children and sitting in my various hospital rooms almost every day for the last year and a half.\u201d At the same time, her mother wrote a letter to the Senate attempting to stop RFK Jr.\u2019s hearing, and her brother has been \u201cspeaking out against his lies for months.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor my whole life, I have tried to be good, to be a good student and a good sister and a good daughter, and to protect my mother and never make her upset or angry,\u201d Schlossberg wrote. \u201cNow I have added a new tragedy to her life, to our family\u2019s life, and there\u2019s nothing I can do to stop it,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n
