Conjecture: The sequence has infinitely many terms.
See also A261354 for a similar conjecture, and A261353 for a stronger conjecture.
Recall that a prime p is called a Chen prime if p+2 is a product of at most two primes. It is known that there are infinitely many Chen primes.

EXAMPLE
a(1) = 11 since 11 is a prime, and prime(11)+2 = 3*11 = prime(2)*prime(5) with 2 and 5 both prime.
a(2) = 23 since 23 is a prime, and prime(23)+2 = 5*17 = prime(3)*prime(7) with 3 and 7 both prime.
