David–Weston conjecture on local torsion primes

Let E/QE/\mathbb{Q} be an elliptic curve without complex multiplication. A prime pp is a local torsion prime when EE has good reduction at pp and E(Qp)[p]0E(\mathbb{Q}_p)[p]\neq 0. David–Weston conjecture. The set of local torsion primes of EE is finite. The source says that this conjecture is supported by heuristics based on the distribution of Frobenius traces and pp-adic lifts, but gives no resolution.
