why does anyone give a fuck about the kennedy's again? like beyond the one who got his head blown off i mean, just standard east coast aristocrats feeling self-important and making everything about them?
But her having cancer is not. Plenty of people were diagnosed with cancer why wouldn't their family be affected? It's not like anyone knew who she was.
It's like saying Kevin Bacon' 3rd cousin has cancer and thinking that's news
For better or for worse, her name and her connection to RFK junior gives her a platform. She is leveraging this, in combination with her terminal cancer diagnosis, to criticise someone who is actively undermining public health. I think that's a pretty admirable thing to do, and as long as there are assholes like RFK jr fucking things up, criticism of them is important, whatever the source.
Ted Kennedy sponsored or co-sponsored many health-related bills, including the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) (1985), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) (1996), the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) (1997), and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) (2008). His legacy also includes contributions to landmark legislation like the Americans with Disabilities Act (1990) and the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency Act (1990).

Even as she faces her own impending mortality she still takes the time to dunk on that brain worm riddled moron. What a badass.

Ted Kennedy got some great health laws passed.
