They DO limit the risk of spreading... your anecdotal mother in law is an exception, not the norm... the vaccines reduce the risk of death to nearly zero and hospitalization to a negligible percent... if people are getting less sick, for less time, that will naturally reduce transmission windows... it's also possible she contracted the virus before the vaccine had enough time to boost her immune system... I could pull up numbers and data to show you what I mean, but I don't care enough to dig up the medical journals and you probably don't care enough to read them
It's not ineffective because it doesn't immediately make you bulletproof... ask your primary care physician if you have questions on how it works, how safe they are to take, if there will be any complications with your known allergies, etc... I'm sure they'll be happy to answer your concerns
