Jordan Peterson mentioned this as perhaps the most horrific, systematic, GOVT OFFICIALLY SANCTIONED crimes against humanity. I hadn't heard of it. It was sick to read about it. AND THEN TO READ THAT THE US *PROTECTED* AND *REWARDED* SOME OF THE PRACTITIONERS in order to fast-start its own bioweapons research?

While Unit 731 researchers arrested by Soviet forces were tried at the December 1949 Khabarovsk war crimes trials, those captured by the United States were secretly given immunity in exchange for the data gathered during their human experiments.[6] The United States helped cover up the human experimentations and handed stipends to the perpetrators.[1] The Americans co-opted the researchers' bioweapons information and experience for use in their own biological warfare program, much like what had been done with Nazi German researchers in Operation Paperclip.[7][8]
