[Math] Are there infinitely many unique-period prime numbers

elementary-number-theorynumber theory

Wolfram.mathworld.com defines a unique prime in the following way:

"Following Yates (1980), a prime $p$ such that $\frac{1}{p}$ is a repeating decimal with decimal period shared with no other prime is called a unique prime. For example, $3$, $11$, $37$, and $101$ are unique primes."

OEIS has unique-period primes, and the list they give is finite. My question is whether we know if there are infinitely many unique primes, or if there is an easy way to prove that there are finitely many.

Quick clarification: I know that there are infinitely many primes already and how to prove that. I am particularly focused on unique primes.

Quoting from the 1998 paper "Unique-Period Primes" by Caldwell and Dubner,

Other than showing where to search for new unique-primes, we have not even addressed the most basic of questions about these primes: are there infinitely many of them? Are there infinitely many repunit primes? Are there infinitely $n$ such that $\Phi_n(10)$ is a power (greater than one) of a prime? We join others in conjecturing that the answers are yes, yes and no; but we are unable to prove any of these conjectures.

If there's any update, Caldwell has not cited it at the Prime Glossary entry.
