Is the population of North Sentinel Island immune to the genetic effects of inbreeding?

Not trying to be funny, either, but how could an isolated population, of a severely remote/xenophobic island, not just disappear due to the side effects of inbreeding? Do secluded populations eventually become immune to the mutations?

My family has an odd pairing.

Grandma me grandpa and got married

Her brother met his sister and got married.

So when you say it to people it sounds strange, but once you explain it it’s pretty normal.

“My grandma and grandpas brother and sisters married each other” sounds weird. But once it’s explained it’s normal.
