A Wieferich prime p (A001220) is in this sequence iff neither A000040(i-1) nor A000040(i+1) is a Wieferich prime, where i is the index of p in A000040.
Conjecture: There are no consecutive Wieferich primes, i.e., A001220 is a subsequence of this sequence.
The truth of the previous conjecture would follow from the truth of the heuristic assumption that there are about log(log(x)) Wieferich primes below x for large x.
