Could it be because anti-vaxxers are generally anti-medicine and are therefore not getting tested when they probably should?
Obviously, if you don't believe in Covid, you're going to have way less Covid. Because you don't even believe it exists - so when would you ever admit to having it?
It could also be that the people who get boosters happen to be the most likely to contract Covid, and that's why they're getting the booster. Like if they're immune-compromised, or work at an Airport or something.
Your observation matches what I'm seeing among the many people I know. One middle-aged man in particular, who's quite active and otherwise healthy, got at least 3 of those shots back then so he could travel overseas. There were at least 2 separate international trips he subsequently went on where he got sick on the way home, tested positive once back, and then needed a week or two to recover. He still tends to get quite sick after trips now, but he ran out of those home tests, so he can't confirm the cause.
