contents We prove that for any large enough $m \in\mathbb{N}$, the genus $γ=m+1$ equator-poles minimal surface doubling of the equatorial two-sphere $Σ^0 = \mathbb{S}^2_{\mathrm{eq}}$ in the round three-sphere $\mathbb{S}^3$, which has two catenoidal bridges at the poles and $m$ bridges equidistributed along the equatorial circle $\mathscr{C}$ of $Σ^0 $ and was discovered in earlier work of Kapouleas, has index $2γ+5=2m+7$ and nullity $6$, and so it has no exceptional Jacobi fields and is $C^1$-isolated.
