>Oh for fuck sake. You guys really don't understand how much the ISS is shielded from cosmic radiation via the magnetosphere

Not very. See this picture. ISS receives almost half of the GCR dose of deep space, and most of this decrease is due to Earth shielding almost half of the sky, not due to magnetic field. It also passes through South Atlantic anomaly.

This is one reason why astronaut stays on the ISS are limited to one year or so.
