No need for an asterisk. The US government has a long history of conducting unethical medical experiments on unsuspecting US citizens. For example, they conducted the Tuskeege experiments to see what happens long term when you lie to African American soldiers and dont actually treat them for Siphilis. There was also the Manhattan Project offshoot where they secretly injected hospital patients in Rochester NY with plutonium and posed as their primary care physicians to continue study them for the rest of their lives, well into the 1990s.

And conducting experiments on OTHER countries citizens while they're in their own country. They hit a French village with a massive dose of LSD, beyond what anyone would take recreationally, before any layman knew what it was. The US is a bastard and always has been.

Also, there are a lot of unethical drug experiments the government performed throughout the 50s and 60s maybe other times too. They destroyed people like Kazinsky and then called him mentally insane and a danger to the world justifying even more power and control to keep everyone safe - when their uncontrolled power is the cause of the problem.
