Note that life on the Earth surface in the vicinity of the Earth
magnetic poles, where you've no "magnetic shielding", is not disturbed
by this fact.

Note how many humans die specifically due to cosmic and solar radiation
each year as is, whereas right now it's more than 10,000 folks and
counting/year, and those are of just the more developed nations that
even bother keeping track of such matters.

You could completely eliminate the Earth magnetic field and radiation
wise, on Earth's surface, it would've made no difference.

The hell you say. Then you will not terribly mind sharing what the
various densities of the Van Allen belts represent, as in spare
atoms/cm3.

If need be, I'll be glad to share a copy of the conx
report/(con_x_dose1.pdf), and perhaps toss in the TRW/Raytheon Space
Data Report just for being a good sport.

BTW; I agree that 10t/m2 worth of atmosphere is in fact the bulk of
what's moderating the incoming radiation that's getting through the Van
Allen badlands, such as fending off the considerable gamma plus soft and
hard X-rays derived from our naked moon. However, once our trusty
magnetosphere has faded away, so will another portion of the atmosphere.
