Original Note:
Pfizer bears the name of one of its cofounders, Karl Pfizer. Rezifp has no attestation in history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfizer?wprov=sfti1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Pfizer?wprov=sfti1 https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Pfizer https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=Rezifp&year_start=1500&year_end=2019&case_insensitive=on&corpus=iw-2019&smoothing=3 There is no evidence of the name Pfizer or its inversion being related to Resheph. The etymology of Resheph is a subject of scholarly contention, but unknown. https://academia.edu/resource/work/5520335 https://academia.edu/resource/work/1797600 https://books.google.com/books?id=RiLoYwdLUekC
