But how many more will he harm by scandalizing them into following his apparent example and taking an immoral shot? 

[...]  I’m only addressing the argument/problem inherent with n his course of action.
Those potentially scandalized are hypocrites anyway - you shall no judge ... - who cares?

Why would those who are scandalized by a priest (apparently) taking an abortion-tainted shot guilty of hypocrisy?

Desperate times oft times call for desperate measures.  Think of the priests in France when St. Jean Vianney was a boy, or more recently Father Miguel Pro and the Cristeros.  They went around in  disguise pretending to be something they weren't.  Those who didn't know WHY were probably scandalized, but that didn't stop them.  
Then think of Christ in company with Magdalen, a public sinner.  That caused scandal even amongst the apostles.
And here we sit, thousands of miles away, reading a short translation of an event that doesn't affect us in the least........judging. 
God help us.

Knock it off.

The lesson from scripture was already provided, and you’re going to continue arguing the point?

When you need to oppose scripture to defend your position, it a flaming sign that you need to abandon your position.

This is true unless a vast part of the public is aware how absurd and unjust those laws are. Nobody is scandalized by people going grey market to make their living and not paying taxes in the country with effective rate is 60-70%.

If the priest needs to go to hospital to visit sick or travel where unjust restrictions are imposed to enter (jabbed only) and he needs a piece of paper, I am not here to complain.
Agreed. All these keyboard commandos on here throwing this priest in jail under the bus, I think they would see it differently if they were the ones in a hospital bed, knowing they were going to be dead in a few days, in the state of mortal sin wishing they had a priest to hear their confession and give them Extreme Unction ... in that situation, I'm sure they would have a different calculus to apply to a problem like this. But this Polish priest probably has a better sense of what people need, and he is the one who will answer for how he cared for the souls under his charge, and he is the one who made the decisions he made, which he is now suffering for. If you asked him now if he regretted his decision, I am fairly sure he would say no.
