It might be helpful to point out that cell phones right next
to your head routinely operate at .75 watts, and on a frequency with much
higher absorption than HF.  Then there are electric blankets.
Both should be much more dangerous than a ham antenna 100 feet
away if there were anything to this.

In San Jose, CA there is an AM BCB station that has stores
located less than 100 feet from the towers.  I haven't heard
of anyone who works at those stores having a problem.
