Jack Schlossberg wants Cheryl Hines to feel bad for her husband, his uncle Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s anti-vax stance.

The grandson of President John F. Kennedy took to Instagram to address the Curb Enthusiam star directly. He was inspired after an unvaccinated child died amid a measles outbreak in Texas.

Hines is married to the now-United States Secretary of Health and Human Services. Known for his alternative views on medicine, RFK ran for the White House as an independent before doing a deal with President Donald Trump. Earlier this year, the son of the late Attorney General was sworn into his position by the US Senate.

Hey Cheryl Hines, it’s Jack Schlossberg, I just got out of the shower,” Schlossberg said in the video.  “We’ve never met, but I’ve got a favor to ask. I need you to call up the family of the child who died of measles, and say sorry. Can you do that for me, babe?”

He went on,  “Almost every single case of measles is in someone who’s not vaccinated. I think you’re the perfect person to say sorry.”

Hines’ representatives declined to comment on his video when approached by The Hollywood Reporter.

What has Cheryl Hines said about vaccines?

Hines expressed her disgust for Trump during his first term. Despite her husband’s many controversial comments, she has kept mum with her opinion on vaccines.

She did reveal that she did get the COVID-19 jab in order to work again.

“I did what I needed to do to work. If I wasn’t working, would things be different? Maybe. I’m not the kind of person that gets the flu shot,” Hines said.

Has anyone else in the Kennedy family called RFK Jr out besides Jack Schlossberg?

Schlossberg’s mother, Caroline Kennedy, recently broke with her political dynasty family’s tradition of staying silent about each other. The former diplomat took aim at her cousin and urged US lawmakers not to confirm him.

The only daughter of JFK and Jacqueline Onassis shared a video herself, spilling all sorts of secrets in a reverse character reference for the environmental lawyer.

Caroline dubbed RFK Jr a “predator” while alleging he would torture animals when they were growing up.

“I have known Bobby my whole life; we grew up together,” she said reading from a letter. “It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because he himself is a predator.”

“He lacks any relevant government, financial, management, or medical experience,” she continued. “His views on vaccines are dangerous and wilfully misinformed.”
