Tatiana Schlossberg, American journalist for the New York Timesopened at the end of November in a text published in the magazine The New Yorker on the rare blood cancer from which she suffered, acute myeloid leukemia diagnosed in May 2024 just after the birth of her second child.
“During the last clinical trial, my doctor told me it could keep me alive for a year, maybe. My first thought was that my children, whose faces are forever etched in my memory, would not remember me,” wrote the daughter of ex-ambassador Caroline Kennedy and designer and artist Edwin Schlossberg.
The granddaughter of John F. Kennedy, President of the United States from 1961 to his assassination in 1963, was particularly critical of her cousin, Robert Kennedy Jr., current Secretary of Health for Donald Trump, between the upheaval of American vaccination policy and severe budget cuts for medical research.
“From my hospital bed, I saw, against all logic and common sense, the appointment of “Bobby” to this position being confirmed, although he had never worked in medicine, public health or in government,” she scathed.
Mother of two young children, Tatiana Schlossberg was married to George Moran, a physician.
His brother Jack Schlossberg, aged 32, announced in November his candidacy for the mid-term elections in 2026 in a constituency in the city of New York, as a Democratic representative.
