In the fall of 2021, Dr. Ponesse was terminated after she refused to comply with her university's COVID vaccine mandate. In response, she recorded a special video directed to her first-year ethics students. That video went viral. In December 2021, Dr. Ponesse released a book titled My Choice: The Ethical Case Against Covid-19 Vaccine Mandates, a personal account of the battle and its aftermath that examines the ethical and philosophical dimensions of our pandemic response.

Dr. Ponesse is a 2023 Brownstone Fellow and the Chief of Medical Ethics for The Wellness Company.
