First.... There are shit tons of people making wild predictions every day that never come true.
Second, yes when interest rates go up, bond prices go down. However some of that is eased because the demand for bonds goes up when rates go up. In addition, money flow flows out of the stock market into the bond market.
Third, bonds general are a safer investment. So it returns 3% right now. Even if the bond market crashes, you still get your 3% a year, hold it until interest rates go back down. Worst case is you get 3% a year until maturity.
So go fuck yourself and keep believing the fear induced hysteria.
