It wasn't actually the rats that caused the plague, fleas and other people were the largest vectors not rats. rats are actually really similar to cats and spend a lot of time cleaning themselves

If a carrier's planes sink an enemy ship, is it not a kill for the carrier as well?

Iirc the plague killed rats too so the rat isn't exactly a willing carrier. Besides that logic works for human to human transmission too.

I don't think rats are ever willingly carriers of disease. Almost no one is (except for very weird people)

Even they don't really like the Nurgle Rats. There's an appropriate amount of plague spreading and they get way too into it!
