Did the US get any useful or meaningful data from what was taken from Unit 731 after WWII?

I know that the US traded immunity from prosecution for the data which is why there weren't any neremberg trial style proceedings for the Japanese War crimes. Did the US actually learn anything of value? Were lives saved by the data not being destroyed?

Am I, a person living in the West, currently getting any thing out of of the medical experiments performed by the Third Reich and the Japanese Army during World War 2?
