Pfizer allocated doses for those countries (and more) at non-profit prices. Argentina pays $12 per dose[0]. The EU, who haggled a lot, and bought a lot more, is paying $15, and the US pays almost $20.
If Pfizer agreed to be held liable at any level, they'd be literally be agreeing to losing money.
These countries are free to pay the regular price other countries are, with the usual emergency levels of indemnity. I'm sure Pfizer won't mind.
What Argentina and Braz^H^H^H^H the other country want is to have the cake and eat it too: "you manufacture it, you bring it, you earn nothing, yet you're held accountable if things go wrong". Personally I wouldn't go in, not sure about you. This is actuarial 101.
