The bonds are not bad; they are bonds issued by the FED, BoE, ECB etc. It is the effect of the devaluation of the bonds [caused by higher interest rates] on the bondholders [banks and pension funds] balance sheets.
If anything, the face value of the bonds are more secure, as inflation will be increasing the nominal amount of taxes collected that will be used to repay those bonds.
